About Burundi

Burundi is located in the eastern 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 extending to Lake Tanganyika. The country consists mainly of plateaus and mountains, largely formed by the eastern plateau of the Great East African Rift Valley. The average elevation across the country is 1,600 meters, earning it the name "Land of Mountains." More than half of the country's territory lies along the famous Lake Tanganyika. The capital is Bujumbura. The western lakeside and valleys, as well as the eastern regions, have a tropical savanna climate, while the central and western parts have a tropical mountain climate. The average annual temperature ranges from 20-24°C, with highs reaching up to 33°C. March to May marks the heavy rainy season, October to December is the light rainy season, and other months are dry season.

Burundi Coffee Industry

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 the frequently troubled Rwanda, which puts pressure on coffee production. The coffee produced in Burundi is almost entirely Arabica beans, with coffee trees in the Ngozi region growing at altitudes above 1,200 meters. Burundi's coffee features aromatic and rich flavors with excellent acidity, with most exports going to the United States, Germany, Finland, and Japan.

Similarities with Rwandan Coffee

Burundi coffee bears striking similarities to that of its neighboring country Rwanda, and coffees from these two nations are often confused by consumers. Burundi's coffee cultivation is predominantly Bourbon, using traditional washed processing methods for coffee cherries. The main characteristics of its specialty coffee are elegant sweetness and bright citrus aromatics. This particular batch belongs to the Bourbon variety micro-lot.

Burundi Championship Processing Station

The Burundi Championship Processing Station is located at the Panga Processing Station in the Kabuye district of Kayanza province, situated at the Malda Diji Peak. The altitude is exceptionally high, with mountainous areas exceeding 2,000 meters. The fertile, gravelly soil is perfectly suited for coffee cultivation, and it is recognized as the finest coffee processing station in Burundi.
