Introduction of Burundian boutique coffee beans

There are many plateaus and mountains in Burundi, most of which are composed of the plateau on the east side of the East African Rift Valley, with an average elevation of 1600 meters above sea level, which is known as the "mountain country". According to the topography of Burundi, Burundi can be divided into three regions: the western plain, along the Ruzizi River, the Rift Albrtine plain, at 774 to 1000 m above sea level; the central and western mountains, with an average elevation of 1700 m, with the highest peak located in Heha in the southeast of Bujumbura, at 2670 m above sea level; and in the east-central plateau region, at 1000 to 2000 m above sea level, Burundi's mineral deposits are mainly nickel, peat, cerium, tantalum and tin. The nickel deposit is about 300 million tons and the taste is 1.5%. Peat reserves are about 500 million tons. Phosphate reserves 30.5 million tons, taste 11.1-12.6%. The limestone reserves are 2 million tons. Gold deposits are widely distributed, with large reserves in the northwest, and most of them were smuggled abroad in the 1930s. In 1993, forest coverage was 5% of the land area, but it was rapidly reduced to 3% due to fire and deforestation.
