This is the second time we’ve purchase from the AKAWA Project in Burundi and the quality has gone up another level this year. Cleaner, sweeter and more pronounced flavour profile means the coffee has scored higher and the price per kilo has justifiably increased. Validation that the vision of the Akawa Project is coming to fruition - to break the cycle of poverty for coffee farmers in Burundi by giving them the knowledge and assistance to produce high scoring specialty coffee.

Mill manager Emile Ndikumasabo and head Agronomist Anne-Marie have been producing natural fertiliser from discarded coffee pulp, creating a pit and burying the pulp to naturally ferment. The ferment is used in the nursery to fertilise seedlings which are then given to farmers in the group to renovate their crop which are typically grown under the shade of banana trees. Fascinating coffee landscape in Burundi at the moment and we are stoked and grateful for all the hard work and progress happening at Origin.

We are a small scale coffee roaster based in Sydney.

In our roasting and sourcing we look for pronounced, clean flavours that pop out at you. A true expression of the origin and terroir. We like to support producers that are doing good things for their communities and chose to invest in projects that improve both coffee quality and quality of life.

In our down time we surf, hike and enjoy the fruits of the east coast of NSW.
