Before the beginning of the season
This is our last newsletter before the beginning of the season. In a few
days the cherries will be red, ripe and ready to be picked. That means
that within a few weeks we will be opening our washing stations to start
collecting and processing this season's harvest.
Before we begin the chapter of 2019 harvest, we would like to start this
newsletter by thanking all our customers for the trust put in us throughout
the last year. We hope our coffees arrived well and fresh and brought
some sun from Burundi with them to warm up your winter days!




March: Coffee Harvest Season
In Burundi, the arrival of March unequivocally means that the harvest is
here. While most of the coffee cherries are still green, our team is working
very hard both in the office and at our coffee washing stations preparing
the upcoming harvest season.
Like every year, March will be a very busy month for us, and we love it.



#Olympicafe
To get off to a flying start of the year, on February 8th we got together to
celebrate for the very first time the #Olympicafe. We spent the morning
playing football, basketball and volleyball together with our friends from
Bugestal. After a break we met again to share lunch. We had a delicious
traditional meal and enjoyed the afternoon between speeches, special
awards, music and dancing.

Upcoming Events
As it could not be otherwise, this year we will participate once again in
the Cup of Excellence. Although we are aware that there are still several
months before the competition takes place, we also know that the Cup of
Excellence is a long-distance race and so we want to prepare well.
Indeed, running perfectly monitored quality control and processing

operations from the very first day will be necessary to bring home our
fourth consecutive title!

Other Greenco News
Our new interns, Fiorenza (Marketing & Communications) and Asier
(Operations) have just arrived to Greenco from Uruguay and Spain. A
year full of adventures (both professionally and personally) awaits them…
Welcome to Burundi!







Words From Carlos
As I write these lines, the season is inevitably approaching and this is
evident by the many cherries visible in the coffee trees, an indication that
next season's harvest is about to begin. We are now in a period of
preparation and planning, to ensure that the harvest is a success and that
the quality of the coffee we achieve is the best possible, as well as the
life of the farmers who grow it.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hard work of the people
who have put all their efforts so that we can continue producing the finest
specialty coffee Burundi has to offer. This includes all our employees,
partners, customers... And of course, our farmers, without whom none of
this would be possible.
We will keep you updated in the next newsletters, this time with the drying
tables full of coffee!
