About This Coffee

Similar to its neighbour Rwanda, Burundi produces exceptional washed coffees known for their vibrant acidity and complexity. Kayanza province in the north is a key producing region. These high-altitude coffees often exhibit a distinct juicy quality. Look for notes of red grape or plum, bright lime zest acidity, and delicate floral undertones (like hibiscus or rose). The body is often medium-bodied and smooth, finishing cleanly with characteristics similar to black tea. It's a dynamic coffee that shines in pour-over methods.
