This is a special coffee! In the search for amazing new coffees, one of our coffee importers tasted coffee samples from 45 out of the 144 washing stations that exist in Burundi and came up with a few new coffees that were quite stunning. Burundi is an origin to watch!
Our Burundi shines with a nice heavy body, bright citrus-like acidity and sweet fruit notes. It is a wonderful medium light-roast.
Burundi is a small, landlocked country in Central Africa. Most coffee is grown in the mountains of the north, bordering Rwanda. Benefiting from ideal growing conditions and large plantings of the heirloom Bourbon variety of Arabica, Burundi coffee has an excellent reputation, though it is better known in Europe than in the United States. It was grown at 1760 - 1850 meters, washed and sun dried on African beds (raised drying tables.) .
This coffee was purchased from coffee farmers at well above the Fair Trade Minimum.
