    A fully washed Burundi bourbon typical of this origin and its neighbour Rwanda and very recognisable on the aroma - baked apples, cocoa, blood orange. The flavour is full and long - caramelised citrus mainly orange and brown sugar sweetness.

    Decided to cup it twice as there was a distant phenolic taint on cup 3 of the first cupping and deducting 6 points for what is probably just one rogue bean isnt a fair reflection of this coffee. Its a great example of this origin and processing style and an excellent job from the roaster!

    Ive drinking this for a few days now - very enjoyable

More Details

Bean Source Country: Burundi
Burundi is a small landlocked East African nation. Grown predominantly on the high-altitude slopes of the country's mountainous regions, Burundi coffee benefits from rich volcanic soils and favorable climate conditions, which impart a vibrant acidity and pronounced fruitiness to the beans. Burundian coffee often has nuanced notes of red fruit, such as cherry, currant, and raspberry, while lending it a delicate floral undertone. This harmonious blend of flavors is further complemented by a medium body, crisp citrus brightness, and a lingering sweet finish, making Burundian coffee a sought-after (and sometimes hard-to-find) treasure in specialty coffees.
