Artwork

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

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.

Why it tastes like this
  • Fully washed coffee → cleaner cup and sharper flavour separation
  • Bourbon at 1,500–1,700m → bright acidity with sweet core
  • Rigorous cherry selection and station processing → high clarity and less muddiness

Step 01

Choose your brew method

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.

Never realised how good this coffee was until I went on holiday. I had to detox from coffee for a week as it didn’t taste anywhere near as good as the Burundi from Wrexham Bean.

A little juicy as Kenya coffees should be and its bright acidity is not overpowering. Its very balanced. Pairs well with something sweet and citrusy but I also find it matched well with something buttery as it smooths out some of the acidity. Very nice for morning or afternoon cup.

Really pleased with theses beans on my second bag already and will continue to buy from Wrexham bean. We like the rich smooth and undertones of dark chocolate perfect made as a Cortardo :u1F90E::coffee:️

My first order from Wrexham Bean Company--I was very impressed. A classical Kenyan profile. Lovely (but not overwhelming) acidity, with nutty aromas and a light fruity quality. I will certainly be ordering from them again! Thank you!

A great coffee and I must say exemplary service getting it to me.

I would highly recommend getting a subscription, being a local business is a bonus and you can tell there's a personal touch you just don't get with "big" subscription coffee services I've used in the past.

Tried these after a recommendation. The flavour blew my mind. These are now my new favourite. I’ll be back for more. Highly recommend.

Lovely flavourful coffee.
Comes with a very informative leaflet - it's always nice to get to know the origins of the bean. Makes a change from faceless companies.

I have only just found these guys and I’m so happy I have, the coffee is wonderful especially this Burundi Red Bourbon. Dark enough for espresso, fruity flavours, proper African coffee.
