The Republic of Burundi, a small war-torn landlocked country in East Africa, is slightly smaller than Taiwan with a population of about 8 million. The economy is dominated by agriculture, which makes a living for nearly 90% of the people. Coffee is one of the main means for the country to earn foreign exchange. Over the past five years, with the help of international aid programs, Polondi has helped farmers grow high-quality coffee and gradually gain ownership of the land.

This Micro-Lot from Qigama is planted at an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level and is located in the alpine area near Luanda in the north of the country. After harvest, caffeine is usually sent to the local state-run washing treatment plant for follow-up operation.

The reason why it is called "very few batches of beans" is due to the use of the local endemic bourbon old species-Mibirizi, whose name comes from the first bourbon tree transplanted from Guatemala to Luanda more than a hundred years ago. after adapting to the climate, it is precious to be planted in Burundi.

It is said that Polondi will join the Cup of Excellence this summer to hold excellent cup test competitions and bidding activities. At that time, prices will inevitably rise, and it is recommended to buy every bargain at present.

In terms of flavor, it has a strong citrus flower fragrance, excellent sweetness, and impeccable balance and richness as a whole, the kind of special local flavor that belongs to the heart of Africa-Polondi is really irresistible.
