A truly outstanding coffee, grown in the African country of Burundi, which reveals a delicate body with delightful floral notes of lavender and blackcurrant, notes of red wine and blackberry, and a lovely chocolate aftertaste. Burundi Coffee is made using the Bourbon variety of the Coffea Arabica plant, which grows in high-altitude regions between 1,400 and 2,200 meters above sea level, where a good amount of rainfall, plenty of sunlight and rich, volcanic soil provide ideal conditions for growing high-quality coffee. This versatile bean is suitable for all popular brewing methods but is best when prepared in a cafetiere or with a filter machine. Despite being a relatively small country, Burundi is known for producing some of the best coffee in the world, with the Bourbon variety recognised as a truly special bean. The Burundi coffee industry is dominated by small-scale farmers who cultivate coffee on small plots of land, using traditional farming methods.
