About This Coffee
Conservation
Dedicated conservationists sit on the Burka Estates board to uphold the legacy of the estates and ecology of the local biome. From the maintenance of Burka Forest and the restoration of Burka Hill, Burka Estate is faithful to its ecological roots.
One of the last and certainly the largest indigenous forests in Arusha, Burka Forest holds the natural spring which first gave Burka its name over 100 years ago. The preservation of these forests has led to a dramatic increase in the diversity and wealth of wildlife in this area. Everything from Dik Diks, to the Madagascar Squacco Heron, to Velvet monkeys, to the last baboon colony in the area; enjoys the protection of Burka’s strict conservation policies, along with over 120 species of bird, attracted by the local flora and natural grassland and forest areas. The Estate trains dedicated wildlife wardens to protect and conserve this wildlife.
The Process
The process begins with selective picking of only deep red cherries. Further hand sorting is conducted before the cherry enters the fermentation vessel.
The fermentation vessel is a 1,000L plastic tank with a fermentation valve system to allow gas to vent off while avoiding the introduction of more gas. As the CO2 builds in the tank this displaces the latent oxygen to create an anaerobic environment. Fermentation takes place over 5 days. After this the cherries are dried on raised African beds in a traditional manner.
Burka has its own cupping lab on site, and samples of each day’s lot from Mondul are cupped and assessed for quality.
