Background from the importer:

Burundi microlots are selected out of the daylots created by various
centralized washing stations. Because the average farmer
in Burundi owns 1/8–1/4 a hectare of land, many smallholder farmers will
deliver their fresh cherry to a washing station in order to be sorted and
processed; microlots, then, are blended lots comprising coffees from many
producers that express exquisite coffee, but are not generally traceable to
the individual producers.

The Rubagabaga Washing Station is located in the Kayanza region of Burundi
and is named after the hill it sits on. Many producers from around the region
contribute to this washing station. Much of Rubagabaga’s fame and
reputation comes from an abundance of banana trees in the region. The
locals make use of “umubaga” which is the first juice squeezed out of the
banana to brew beer, one of the many homemade brews the country so
fondly makes.
