Gitwe

Founded by Ben And Kristy Carlson in 2013, the Long Miles Coffee Project serves as an inspiring point of connection between rural Burundian coffee farmers and the international specialty coffee market. The Heza Washing Station, where this coffee is processed, is extremely remote. It is surrounded by communities largely made up of coffee farmers. Heza means 'beautiful place' in Kirundi, the local language of Burundi. With panoramic views, an ever-changing East African sky, and incredible coffee and people, this washing station lives up to its name.

Our coffee bags are now recyclable - just return your used bag to any of our cafés and we'll take care of the rest.
