Clean washed Arabica for blends
TT is a Burundi export grade for fully washed Arabica, a commercial grade below the 15+ specialty lots. It comes from the same highland farms and the same washing process, and keeps the clean, sweet profile of washed Burundi coffee.
It suits roasters looking for a dependable washed Arabica component in blends. Our TT lots are milled and loaded in Gitega and exported by our partner in Bujumbura.
