Businde
From Forward Coffee:
Businde is a coffee washing station in the Kayanza District of Burundi. It has been in operation for over 10 years and has won the Cup of Excellence.
Something unique about Businde CWS is that it is located in an area where a Twa community lives. This is extremely rare, as it is the least populated of the ethnic groups in Rwanda and Burundi, after the Hutu and Tutsi’s. The Twa community are some of the poorest and most segregated groups when it comes to wealth inequality amongst ethnic groups. Businde CWS is located in the northern province of Kayanza, close to the Rwandan border, and employs many members of this nearby Twa community. *Note: in Rwanda, it is no longer socially acceptable to reference the ethnic grouping of Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa. Though, in Burundi, this is still widely acknowledged.
Washed coffees are fermented for 12 hours, in a traditional styling, where they're pulped at night, left in ceramic open-air tanks overnight, and cleaned and washed in the morning. They also go through a serpentine channel that sorts and separates by density. It is then left for approximately 20 days to dry on raised beds with consistent movement and rotations.
