Fluxus Filter coffee: Ryamukona, Burundi 1kg

One kilo of our Fluxus Filter coffee, in your choice of grind or whole beans, direct from our Coffee by Tate Roastery at Tate Britain.

Coffee by Tate is a vibrant community-led non-profit business that helps fund Tate Gallery and champion coffee producers and professionals of all genders throughout the coffee value chain. Our range of coffees is comprised of individual, community and family producers and designed to reflect the seasonality, diversity and quality of coffee grown across Africa and Latin America. Our range of Espresso and Filter coffees are the results of projects, relationships or initiatives that we have instigated or supported in producing communities, with the help of our partners, and changes seasonally. This is a more sustainable process that ensures the highest quality yield and allows us to work with more producers.

Our current Fluxus Filter coffee is Ryamukona, a natural process coffee from Burundi. This year is our third year buying from Izuba at Tate, and we are grateful to receive another sweet, fruity and rewarding cup yet again.

About our producers

Meaning ‘sun’ in Kirundi, Izuba is located in Runinya, Kabarore Commune, of Kayanza Province. It’s situated near to the Kibira national park, where the soil and climate are paired well for fantastic coffee production.

The washing station is set close to a nearby river, providing avital and regular freshwater source for coffee processing. The station is managed by Ntama Appolinaire, who works alongside Prosper Merrimee, the operational manager of Raw Material Burundi. Izuba employs 2 full-time staff and around 250 seasonal workers, who are all local to the station.

Kigeri, Ryamukona, and Mugoyi are the three hills (collines) surrounding Izuba and the three areas in which coffee is collected or delivered from. Each volume of cherry sold to Izuba is recorded by producer and hillside, showing the minute variances in profile from locations surrounding the washing station.
