Burundi - Yandaro, Red Bourbon, Washed
Tucked in the rolling hills of the Kayanza region, sits the Yandaro washing station. Benefiting from great terroir and strict station practices, their G1 washed is an annual favorite. We have been working with them since 2021 and love the coffee's clean, sweet and juicy profile.

YANDARO
Led by Celeste, the Yandaro station works with thousands of smallholders in Kayanza to produce some of Burundi’s finest coffees.
YANDARO
Around 3,000 smallholder families deliver cherry to Yandaro from the surrounding hills of Kayanza, benefiting from fertile soils and steady groundwater. We’ve been working with the station since 2021 and visited in 2024, where we saw how tightly quality is managed at every step. Under the guidance of station manager Celeste, incoming cherry is carefully sorted and processed as fully washed coffee, resulting in clean, sweet cups with lively acidity. Their G1 lots are a consistent highlight for us year after year.
