Country Profile: Burundi

Burundi has one of the world's most diverse and successful coffee industries, with its own distinctive characteristics. Coffee was introduced to the country in 1930 by Belgian colonialists and is now grown only on small farms. Unfortunately, many of these farms are located in areas bordering Rwanda, which has experienced frequent conflicts, creating pressure on coffee production. Almost all coffee produced in Burundi consists of Arabica beans, with coffee trees in the Ngozi region growing at altitudes above 1200 meters. Burundi coffee is known for its aromatic and rich flavor with excellent acidity, with most exports going to the United States, Germany, Finland, and Japan.

Flavor Profile

Flavor Description: Rich aromas of raisins, blackberry jam, and ripe peaches. The front palate reveals sweet flavors of cranberry, citrus, and peach juices, while rich sweetness from caramel and orange jam permeates the entire cup. The natural process's fermented wine-like notes are particularly prominent, evoking orange wine or peach flavors. This is truly a distinctive Burundi specialty coffee.

Burundi is located in the southeastern part of Central Africa, south of the equator. It borders Rwanda to the north, Tanzania to the east and south, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, with the southwestern border along Lake Tanganyika. The country consists mainly of plateaus and mountains, largely formed by the eastern plateau of the Great Rift Valley. The average altitude across the country is 1600 meters, earning it the name "Mountain Country." Over half of the country's territory lies on the famous Lake Tanganyika. The capital is Bujumbura. The western lakeside and valley areas, as well as the eastern regions, have a tropical savanna climate, while the central and western parts have a tropical highland climate. The average annual temperature ranges from 20-24°C, with maximum temperatures reaching 33°C. March to May is the major rainy season, October to December is the minor rainy season, and other months are dry seasons.

Burundi coffee bears striking similarities to that of its neighbor Rwanda, and coffees from these two countries are often confused. Burundi's coffee cultivation is dominated by Bourbon varieties, using traditional wet processing methods for coffee cherries. The main characteristics of its specialty coffees are elegant sweetness and bright citrus aromas. This batch belongs to the Bourbon micro-lot category.
