Bukeye Washing Station

The Bukeye Washing Station sources coffee from the Kayanza and Muramvya regions of Burundi. These lots are cultivated at high altitudes, ranging from 1700 to 2100 meters above sea level.

The station manages a variety of coffee cultivars. The catalog identifies Bourbon, Red Bourbon, SL34, and Mibirizi as primary varieties, alongside several other unspecified cultivars.

Processing at Bukeye is primarily focused on the washed method, which accounts for the majority of their catalog entries. The station also produces limited quantities of honey and natural processed coffees.

The index tracks eight distinct lots from Bukeye, representing harvest years that include 2021 and 2023. These coffees have been featured by two different roasters.

Recent catalog entries include the 2021 Bukeye Gaharo Hill processed as a washed Red Bourbon and other varieties by Sey Coffee, as well as a 2023 Bukeye Gaharo Hill lot featuring a blend of Red Bourbon, Mibirizi, and SL34. Additionally, the catalog lists a Bukeye Ninga Hill Field Blend processed as honey by Sey Coffee.

The work of the Bukeye Washing Station is characterized by a consistent focus on washed processing and the cultivation of traditional Bourbon and SL34 varieties across multiple hills in Burundi.
