BURUNDI

Many trees in Burundi are of the Red Bourbon variety. Due to the shrinking size of coffee plantations, aging of rootstocks is a major problem in Burundi. Many farmers have trees that are over 50 years old, but with small plots to cultivate, it is difficult to justify taking trees out of production during the 3-4 years when new plantings will be needed to start producing. At the washing station, farmers can also obtain organic fertilizers derived from composted coffee pulp.

Despite the ubiquity of coffee cultivation in Burundi, each smallholder coffee farmer has a relatively small harvest. The average smallholder has approximately 250 trees, usually in their backyards. Each tree produces an average of 1.5 kilos of cherries, so the average farmer sells about 200-300 kilos of cherries annually.

 

Gahahe in Kayanza province

More than 1,700 smallholders deliver their cherries to the Gahahe station. At the station, the quality of their careful cultivation and ideal environmental conditions are preserved and enhanced by meticulous processing. Expect a high take on the classic Burundi Profile fully washed with blackcurrant , floral and red fruits.


Our coffee has an interesting acidity and a rich, full-bodied flavor with notes of blackcurrant and berries that are perfectly balanced with a floral aroma and a crisp lemon finish. Burundi coffee is highly sought after by lovers who enjoy bright acidity and unique character of African coffees. It typically has a very balanced acidity and flavor and is often seen as a versatile coffee.
