Burundi Grand Cru Auction Lot
$21
JNP Coffee has been helping us source small lots of exceptional Bourbon from Burundi since 2016. So when it held the country's first-ever private auction late last year, the question wasn't whether we would bid on one of the 26 lots on offer, but which one we would choose. In the end, our coffee team awarded its highest scores to this washed Bourbon lot from Karuzi Province.

How To Brew
We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from intelligentsia.com.
