Burundi Bumba

Long Miles Coffee, founded by Ben and Kristy Carlson in 2011, has steadily moved washing and drying infrastructure closer to these families, paying higher cherry prices and running field schools, savings groups and leadership programs. Cherry is floated, hand sorted and disc pulped on the day of picking, fermented under water, washed in channels and dried slowly on raised beds. Padre directs $4 from every kilo sold to Trees for Kibira, a reforestation project in Burundi.
