Fellow's Take on Heza by Sey | Brew Recipe

Here's how we brewed this exclusive washed Burundi from superstar roaster Sey Coffee.

This coffee was grown on the Mutana hills around Burundi’s Kibira Forest, where rich, sandy soil supports a vibrant mix of crops. We tasted a silky cup of brown sugar, baked fruit, mulling spices and rooibos tea. Best brewed 3-5 weeks post-roast.
