Burundian coffee bears a striking resemblance to neighboring Rwanda, where coffee from the two countries is often confused. Burundian coffee is mainly grown in bourbon, with traditional wet processing of coffee cherries. Its boutique coffee is characterized by elegant sweetness and bright citrus aromas.

Burundi is a small landlocked country located at the junction of eastern and central Africa, across the Nile and Congo basins, dominated by hills and mountains, with excellent coffee-growing elevations. The history of coffee cultivation in Burundi is not long, its coffee planting industry is carried out entirely in the form of small family farms, there is a great difference in quality, and years of war and social unrest have made its coffee planting industry very chaotic. But I have to admit that it has the potential to produce high-quality coffee.

Note: due to ethnic separatism, the chaos of Burundian coffee has been going on for a long time, with a large number of old and new raw beans mixed together, making this coffee unsuitable for grading.
