About Burundi Coffee

Burundi is located in the southeastern part of 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 part bordering Lake Tanganyika. The country consists mostly of plateaus and mountains, largely formed by the eastern plateau of the East African Rift Valley. The national average elevation is 1,600 meters, earning it the name "Mountain Country." 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 is 20-24°C, with highs reaching up to 33°C. March to May is the heavy rainy season, October to December is the light rainy season, and other months are the dry season.

Burundi has one of the world's most diverse and successful coffee industries, with its own unique characteristics. Coffee was introduced to the country by Belgian colonists in 1930 and is now grown only on small farms. Unfortunately, many of these farms are located in areas bordering the war-torn Rwanda, which puts pressure on coffee production. Almost all coffee produced in Burundi consists of Arabica coffee beans, while the coffee trees in Ngozi are planted at altitudes above 1,200 meters. Burundian coffee has a rich and aromatic flavor with excellent acidity, and most of its products are exported to the United States, Germany, Finland, and Japan.

Burundi coffee shares striking similarities with its neighboring country Rwanda, and the coffee produced by these two countries is often confused. Burundi's coffee cultivation 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 batch belongs to the Bourbon micro-lot.
