## What the Brand Says

> Tasting note: Blackberries, Jammy, Winey Area: Kayanza province Farm: Butegana Washing Station Variety: Red Bourbon Process: Natural, Yeast Inoculated Roast Level: Light A natural processed lot, inoculated with specific yeasts to enhance its fruity character. This brings a bold, sweet and fruit forward taste profile with a touch of funk. In the lush hills surrounding the Butegana Washing Station, smallholder farmers carefully tend to their Red Bourbon coffee trees in truly exceptional growing conditions. The combination of fertile soil and high elevations allows the cherries to ripen slowly, developing remarkable sweetness and complexity. The natural process, enhanced with carefully selected yeast inoculation, intensifies the coffee's fruit-forward character while bringing extra clarity and depth to every cup.
