Introduction to the characteristics of coffee producing areas in Burundi: altitude flavor description method

In recent years, Starbucks has paid more and more attention to the coffee industry in Africa and began to increase the price of coffee with Burundian Arabrica, a coffee grower in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Kenya. The purchase price of fresh coffee in Burundi has been adjusted from 120 Burundian francs / kg to 200 Burundian francs / kg. This is excellent news for countries that earn more than 80% of their foreign exchange earnings from coffee exports. Due to the abundant coffee growing season Rain Water and good field management, coffee production in 2004-05 was significantly higher than that of last year. According to Burundian officials, coffee bean production this year will reach 36000 tons, an increase of six times over last year (5600 tons). The United States, Starbucks, the largest coffee retailer in the world, said a few days ago that it would increase its purchase of coffee from Burundi. Industry insiders said that Starbucks' move will help boost the economic development of Burundi. The New York Stock Exchange made a decision with the Burundian government and coffee production, operation and export enterprises on February 17, 2005. It agreed to lower the pricing index of Burundian coffee listed on the exchange by 200 points, that is, an increase of 2 cents per pound (equivalent to 50 Burundian francs per kilogram). Subsequently, the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange informed the Burundian Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Burundian Coffee Company. Burundian Minister of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Pierre Ndikumagange was invited to attend the opening ceremony of the New York Stock Exchange on April 14 to raise the profile of Burundian coffee in the international coffee market.

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. This coffee is rough but mild, and has characteristics similar to Kenyan coffee. The flavor is sweet and fruity, with a slightly spicy finish.
