Long Miles Coffee began with a simple belief: that Burundi’s hills, when treated with care and intention, could produce coffees among the finest in the world. From the very beginning, our work has centered on relationships with farmers, meticulous processing, and a deep respect for place—allowing each hill and harvest day to speak for itself. This exceptional micro lot is the purest expression of that philosophy. Crafted from a single harvest day, the cherries for this coffee were hand-selected from partner farmers on Gikungare and Bumba hills, two neighboring high-elevation sites known for their cool temperatures, slow cherry maturation, and dense Bourbon beans. Only the ripest cherries were accepted, followed by careful flotation and cleaning to ensure that only the highest-quality fruit moved forward. Drying was intentionally slow and deliberate—over 30 days on raised African drying beds—using a combination of evenly layered drying and pyramid drying, with shade cloth applied when needed to protect the coffee from harsh midday sun and allow moisture to leave the seed gradually and evenly. This extended drying approach enhances the inherent character of the hills rather than overwhelming it, resulting in a coffee that is layered, refined, and expressive, showcasing the elegance and complexity that Burundi is capable of when time, patience, and precision are honored. This lot is not repeatable; it represents a single moment in the harvest, a single day’s work across two remarkable hills, and the collective effort of farmers and the Long Miles Coffee team committed to excellence at every step—a true micro lot, crafted slowly and rooted deeply in place.

Region:	Ninga
Producer Story:	Meet the extraordinary Donate Nduwimana, a Coffee Scout at the breathtaking Gikungere Hill.⁠ ⁠ Coffee Scouts are essential to how we produce coffee in Burundi. Lending their expertise, Coffee Scouts guide farmers to understand what is needed to produce quality coffee all the way from the nursery to harvest season. ⁠ ⁠ Some of our neighboring producers see farmers wanting to collaborate with us, and even the government coffee board has suggested that other Burundi coffee producers could learn through adopting ideas from Long Miles, like our Coffee Scout programs. It's heartening to see our efforts making an impact in ways we never expected.⁠ _____ Meet Marie Nzokirantevye, a resilient coffee farmer on Bumba Hill. At 70, she carries the weight of a tumultuous past marked by war and loss. ⁠ ⁠ In 1996, Marie fled with her children, never knowing her husband's fate when he went in search of food. Now, their coffee plantation, once tended by him, stands as a testament to their shared dreams. With 150 trees, Marie and her children cultivate the land, weaving love and unity into their existence. ⁠ ⁠ Her children rally around, honoring their father's legacy and their mother's enduring spirit. In the quiet hills, Marie's story unfolds—a tale of hardship, resilience, and unwavering strength.

San Augustin Estate Double Fermentation Heirloom

Boxes:	1
Variety:	Heirloom
Weight:	14.50 kg

Process:	Washed Double Fermentation
Region:	Pichincha
Producer Story:	Owned by: Alfonso Villagómez San Agustin Estate is a compound of two coffee producing and conservation dedicated farms located in the northwestern area of Ecuador’s capital city, Quito, next to a small village named Tulipe, between 1,600 and 1,800 meters above sea level. This magical and energetic area, known for being occupied by “Los Yumbos” (an ancient, pre-Incaic nomad tribe dedicated to commerce) hundreds of years ago. Grandpa, Augusto Dávalos, acquired one of the farms 40 years ago and dedicated it for dairy purposes mostly. As time passed by, coffee started to grow almost naturally, from the first planted seeds brought from Colombia and we noticed it had a special flavor. He used to harvest, peel, dry and roast on his own and share the results with all the family every Sunday. This is the reason why 10 years ago we decided to make some tests establishing small areas of different varieties so everyone could have a little of those lovely flavors that once were roasted by grandpa in his own pan. Now days we are working in many experimental processes, being the only ones in the region producing naturals, with five different varietals including Sidra, Typica Mejorado (TM), Caturra (Neighbors), Pacamara and Heirloom, and focusing on getting the best possible quality out of them since climate change has been a huge challenge lately for us in coffee production, by yield decreasing as much as 80% the past years. As for myself, I started in the business when I planted the first TM and Caturras in 2014 and as time passed by, got involved more and more every year in this passionate activity. Left my previous job in environmental consultancy in 2018 and dedicated full time to coffee since. Became a licenced Q Grader, as a necessity, and an exporter, a bit later. My main goal is to help farmers to get their coffee known more easily and to be a reliable partner to roasters and buyers to work with.

Hawaiian Goat Coffee Anaerobic Typica

Boxes:	1
Variety:	Typica
Weight:	9.50 kg

Process:	108 Hour Anaerobic Yeast Inoculation, Fruit Dried
Region:	Kona
Producer Story:	Elizabeth and Payman Namvar started Hawaiian Goat Coffee in 2022 as a Roasting Company in Kona. Their objective was to help local farmers take their product to the final stage instead of only selling their coffee as cherry or green. Through their work in Kona they were able to land their own farm. Malakie Estate was established in 2023. It is a low elevation (for Kona standards) coffee farm in the Keauhou Mauka area of Kona. It is a 5 acre parcel that sits at 850ft elevation with Monkey Pod trees providing natural shade to the Property. In the first year, they planted the 3 varieties that are fruit bearing now. Given the location and terroir they miraculously had a first year harvest in which they were able to try their product for the first time and win a few local accolades. With this current (second year) harvest they were able to try different fermentation practices in which we are able to experience their efforts on a global stage. Elizabeth and Payman Namvar both serve in local coffee communities such as the Hawaii Coffee Association and Kona Coffee Farmers Association. They have been helping local farmers with educational resources and providing feedback of their coffees. Both Elizabeth and Payman are Certified Q Graders with the CQI, and Evolved Q Graders with the SCA. They use their experience in hosting free cupping events where the local coffee community gather monthly to try different local coffees. Elizabeth and Payman are hoping to inspire the next generation of coffee farmers in Hawaii. They also have a goal in producing the high quality microlots that are being recognized as luxury coffee.
