The station sits at 1,774 metres in the valley of the Yandaro River, with the coffee farms surrounding it reaching approximately 1,800 metres above sea level. Nearby lies the Kibira rainforest, part of the mountainous landscape that makes this corner of Kayanza particularly well suited to coffee cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCoffee production here happens on an extraordinarily small scale. The farmers supplying Yandaro cultivate an average of only around \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e350 coffee trees\u003c\/span\u003e, usually alongside food crops that support their families. This makes the washing station an essential part of the coffee’s identity: rather than representing a single estate, Yandaro brings together cherries from many tiny farms and provides the infrastructure and expertise needed to sort, process and dry them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eYandaro was established in the \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003emid-1980s\u003c\/span\u003e and today works with Greenco, which supports producers and washing stations throughout Kayanza with agronomy, quality control and processing expertise. The station has developed a strong reputation for coffees that combine the characteristic fruit and lively acidity of Burundi with exceptional sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhat makes \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ethis particular Yandaro lot especially interesting is the processing\u003c\/span\u003e. Burundi is much better known for fully washed coffees, while honey processing remains relatively uncommon. For a honey coffee, ripe cherries are depulped while leaving part of the fruit’s sticky mucilage around the seed. The coffee is then dried on raised beds, where careful and regular turning helps control fermentation and encourages even drying. Yandaro’s honey lots are described as particularly juicy, with \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003estone-fruit character and pronounced sweetness\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt the heart of the lot is \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eRed Bourbon\u003c\/span\u003e, the variety most closely associated with Burundi’s specialty-coffee identity. Grown at high elevation and combined with the honey process, it produces a different expression from the more familiar washed Burundis: \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003erounder sweetness, ripe fruit and a fuller, softer character while retaining the bright, elegant acidity that makes coffees from Kayanza so distinctive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt’s a coffee that tells the story of Burundi particularly well—not through a single famous farm or producer, but through \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ethousands of small gardens, one washing station and a shared pursuit of quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MAMAM COFFEE","offers":[{"title":"250G \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":58359967088972,"sku":"9812","price":81.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"250G \/ V60","offer_id":58359967121740,"sku":null,"price":81.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"250G \/ Aeropress","offer_id":58359967154508,"sku":null,"price":81.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"250G \/ Batch Brew","offer_id":58359967187276,"sku":null,"price":81.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"250G \/ Espresso Machine","offer_id":58359967220044,"sku":null,"price":81.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"250G \/ Moka Pot","offer_id":58359967252812,"sku":null,"price":81.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":58359967285580,"sku":"1298","price":285.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ V60","offer_id":58359967318348,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ Aeropress","offer_id":58359967351116,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ Batch Brew","offer_id":58359967383884,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ Espresso Machine","offer_id":58359967416652,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ Moka Pot","offer_id":58359967449420,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/5854\/1826\/files\/BurundiYandaroHoney-FILTER.png?v=1786445501","url":"https:\/\/mamam.coffee\/products\/burundi-yandaro-honey-filter","provider":"MAMAM COFFEE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
