Burundi has the most diverse and successful coffee industry in the world, and has its own characteristics. Coffee in this country was introduced by Belgian colonists in 1930 and is now grown only on small farms. Unfortunately, many of these farms are on the border with war-torn Rwanda, putting pressure on coffee production. Almost all coffee produced in Burundi is Arabian coffee beans, while coffee trees in Ngozi are planted at an altitude of more than 1200 meters. Burundian coffee has a strong aroma and excellent acidity, and most of its products are exported to the United States, Germany, Finland and Japan. Burundian coffee bears a striking resemblance to its neighbor Rwanda, and the coffee produced in these 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. This batch belongs to the Bourbon species Micro batch [Bulongdi Champion processing Plant], which is located at the Mardadi Peak of the Parnjia treatment Plant in Cabuye District, Cajun Province, with a very high altitude, even more than 2000 meters above sea level, with fertile soil and loess soil. It is widely recognized as the best coffee processing plant in Bulongdi.
