From the roaster

For this seasonal iteration of Pathfinder, we’re proud to share a lot from Burundi’s Muyinga District, made possible through a carefully built partnership developed over many years. Bright, expressive and ideal for espresso, it showcases the distinctive terroir of this remote, hard‑to‑access region.

Changing with the seasons 3-4 times a year, our Pathfinder programme is intentionally curated to showcase coffees from lesser-featured producing countries, to create a ‘bright’ coffee profile that suits espresso brewing.

Origin Coffee

Context

The Pathfinder from Origin Coffee brings Burundi's distinctive coffee character into focus. Sourced from Muyinga District, this coffee reflects the bright, expressive qualities that Origin Coffee emphasizes in their curation. Burundian coffees are known for their nuanced, vibrant profiles, and the Pathfinder's character suggests complexity worth exploring through multiple brewing methods. Those new to the flavor wheel may find this an excellent reference point for understanding how regional origin, processing, and roasting converge to shape what you taste in the cup.
