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 shore along Lake Tanganyika. The country is predominantly highlands and mountains, mostly consisting of the eastern plateau of the East African Rift Valley, with an average elevation of 1600 meters, earning it the name "Land of Mountains." More than half of the country lies on the famous Lake Tanganyika. The capital is Bujumbura. The western lakeside and valleys, as well as the eastern regions, have a tropical savanna climate; the central and western parts have a tropical mountain climate. The average annual temperature ranges from 20-24°C, reaching up to 33°C. March to May is the major rainy season, October to December is the minor rainy season, and other months are the dry season.

Burundi coffee shares remarkable similarities with its neighboring country Rwanda, and the coffee produced by these two nations is often confused. Coffee cultivation in Burundi is predominantly Bourbon, using traditional wet processing methods for coffee cherries. The main characteristics of its specialty coffee are elegant sweetness and bright citrus aromatics. This particular batch is a micro-lot of Bourbon variety.

Variety: Bourbon

Processing Station: Panya Processing Station

Flavor: Grape skin, orange wine, fermented fruits

This batch is a natural-processed Bourbon micro-lot, with the growing region located at Maldadi Peak in the Panya Processing Station, Kabuye area, Kayanza Province. The altitude is very high, with mountainous areas exceeding 2000 meters. The soil is fertile and gravelly, making it extremely suitable for coffee cultivation. It is recognized as the best coffee processing station in Burundi.

Burundi has one of the world's most diverse and successful coffee industries, with its own unique characteristics. Coffee was introduced to the country in 1930 by Belgian colonists and is now grown only on small farms. Unfortunately, many of these farms are located in areas bordering war-torn Rwanda, which creates pressure on coffee production. Almost all coffee produced in Burundi is Arabica, with coffee trees in Ngozi planted at altitudes above 1200 meters. Burundi coffee has an 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 notes feature sweet flavors of cranberry, citrus, and peach juice, while the rich sweetness of caramel and orange jam fills the entire cup. The fermented wine-like notes from natural processing are also prominent, reminiscent of orange wine or peach flavors. This is truly a distinctive Burundi specialty coffee.
