Burundi Coffee Bean Flavor Description Taste Production Area Treatment Variety Characteristics Introduction

Coffee in Burundi was originally brought in by the Germans in the 1900s; they found that bourbon was the best coffee variety to grow in the local climate, which is usually a "tropical" plateau climate with very large temperature differences between day and night. However, due to the suspension of investment in coffee research, Bourbon became the only coffee variety left in the country and has been treated with "full washing".

The development of fine coffee needs continuous breakthrough and innovation. In 2014, the Long Miles Coffee Project (LMCP) began using sun treatment and honey treatment on their coffee, which made professional coffee cup testers happy with the taste of coffee. According to Miss Gu Qinru, head of Latorre & Dutch Coffee Asia,"Usually we can drink citrus and plum flavors in washed Burundi coffee. And this is the first time we've ever had a cup of sun-cured and honey-treated Burundi coffee. Its flavors become more complex with strawberries, grapes and tropical fruits. It seems that processing is crucial to the taste of coffee."

Starbucks has paid more and more attention to the African coffee industry in recent years and has begun to cooperate with coffee growers in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Kenya. After the price of Burundi Arabica coffee was raised, the purchase price of fresh coffee in Burundi was adjusted from 120 Burundi francs/kg to 200 Burundi francs/kg, which is excellent news for countries where coffee export revenue accounts for more than 80% of total foreign trade export revenue. Burundi officials expect to produce 36,000 tons of coffee beans in 2004 - 05, a six-fold increase from last year's 5600 tons, thanks to a rainy growing season and better field management. Starbucks, the world's largest coffee retailer, said it would increase its purchases from Burundi. Industry sources said Starbucks 'move was conducive to boosting Burundi's economic development.
