However, if caramel is too much in the baking process is not a good thing, but will cause carbonization, making the coffee dry and choking. If the caramelization is not enough, it will make the aroma monotonous and lack of layers. Burundi Burundi

Coffee came to Burundi during the Belgian colonial period in the 1920s. Since 1933, each farmer has been required to take care of at least 50 coffee trees. When Burundi became independent in 1962, coffee production began to go private; in 1972, it became state-run with the change of political situation; and since 1991, it has gradually returned to private hands.

Coffee taste: high-quality coffee from Burundi has a complex berry flavor and a delicious juicy mouth.

Burundian coffee was first brought in by the Germans in the 1900s; they found that bourbon was the most suitable for growing in the local climate, which is usually a "tropical" plateau climate with a very large temperature difference between day and night. However, due to the suspension of investment in coffee research, bourbon has become the only coffee variety left in the country and has been treated with "full washing".

The development of boutique coffee needs continuous breakthrough and innovation. In 2014, Long Miles Coffee Project (LMCP) began to use sun treatment and honey treatment for their coffee, which made professional coffee cup testers overjoyed at the taste of the coffee. According to Miss Gu Qinru, head of Latorre & Dutch Coffee Asia, "usually we can drink citrus and plum flavors in washed Burundian coffee. And this is our first cup of Burundian coffee treated with sun and honey. Its flavor turns into more complex strawberries, grapes and tropical fruits. It seems that the way it is handled is crucial to the taste of the coffee.
