NEW COFFEE | Burundi - Gahahe - Red Bourbon - Natural
This lot comes from the Gahahe washing station in Kayanza, where nearly 900 smallholder farmers deliver carefully hand-picked cherries. At over 1,800 meters above sea level, ideal growing conditions and meticulous natural processing create a cup that is both vibrant and deeply sweet.
Expect notes of stewed apple and cranberry, with sour candy and sultana sweetness and notes of lemongrass and lime. It’s a coffee that reflects both the land and the people behind it, clean, expressive, and full of character.
Every sip tells the story of craftsmanship, community, and the rising excellence of Burundian coffee.
EASTER UPDATE | Our retail store and HQ will be closed over the Easter long weekend, from Friday - Monday. All online orders placed during this time will be dispatched when we return on Tuesday.
Still time to drop by until then! ☕️
We’ve had an update to our Seasonal Blend, which now combines coffees from Laos, Brazil & Ethiopia.
This tasty blend has notes of buttery dark chocolate ganache, a praline sweetness with fragrant jasmine, cola & yuzu, a fresh plum acidity and a long finish.
It is with a heavy heart that we acknowledge the passing of our colleague and good friend, Ben Toovey.
Ben was a valued part of the Genovese business and family for 17 years. He started with us casually, helping out with deliveries, and quickly developed a passion for coffee. Over the years, he played a key role in establishing and leading our Specialty Division, eventually becoming our Head Roaster.
Ben’s achievements within the coffee industry were inspiring to witness. Among them was placing first in the 2018 Australian Coffee Roasting Championships - an accomplishment of which he, and all of us were incredibly proud. These accolades were a true reflection of his work ethic, dedication and love of coffee.
Ben was a humble and kind person, a perfectionist in many ways, a thoughtful listener and a loyal friend. He was a big part of our Genovese family and he will be deeply missed.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones during this difficult time.
Rest easy, Ben.
