The label features the War Memorial Hospital site in Waverley, originally known as Edina, a Victorian mansion built in the 1880s for Ebenezer Vickery. It began as a private estate before being repurposed for public use.
After Vickery’s death, the property was gifted and later converted into a memorial hospital in the early 20th century. We’ve used that story on the label because it reflects a clear shift from private legacy to long-term community care.
About the coffee
About the coffee
This coffee is produced through Migoti Mountain’s washing-station network, where local farmers deliver cherries and processing is tightly managed for quality. The station model supports both consistency and local employment during harvest. In the cup you get exactly what this setup aims for: bright fruit clarity, sweetness, and a clean finish.

Burundi is a Fully Washed Processed Coffee
Fully washed processing removes the fruit from the seed early in the workflow. After pulping, the coffee is fermented in a controlled way to break down remaining mucilage, then thoroughly washed before drying.
That early fruit removal and cleaner fermentation path usually gives more definition in the cup. You get clearer flavour separation, brighter structure, and acidity that feels sharper and more precise.
In this coffee, that’s why the profile reads apple-zesty rather than heavy or jammy. It stays crisp, clean and focused through the finish.
