Burundi

Burundi is a small, landlocked nation in East Africa. It is a country often under-appreciated as a coffee producer but is happily gaining a reputation for outstanding quality lots that rival those of its neighbours Rwanda, Tanzania and the DRC. We had the privilege of visiting in 2017 when our co-founder Hols was on the tasting panel for the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition.

This Coffee's Story

Burundi is a small, landlocked nation in East Africa. It is a country often under-appreciated as a coffee producer but is happily gaining a reputation for outstanding quality lots that rival those of its neighbour's Rwanda, Tanzania and the DRC. We had the privilege of visiting in 2017 when our co-founder Hols was on the tasting panel for the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition. This experience was incredibly educational in learning more about the workings of the coffee market there and the opportunities there are for true social and economic development with a more quality-minded approach.
 
We are always searching for better ways of working to try to undo structures that exist to prioritise buyer over producer and are therefore delighted to showcase yet another standout coffee from Raw Material’s Izuba Washing Station. Non-profit social enterprise Raw Material’s goal in Burundi is simple - to secure higher profits for coffee producers and employees of station staff alike. All profits are donated back to the producers they buy from through the purchase of coffee and investments back into the Kigeri coffee growing community.
 
This is a super clean washed lot best suited to be enjoyed without milk on paper filter methods.

North Star’s Burundian is probably the best coffee in the world

It’s absolutely delicious and roasted to a perfect level. I bring it back to where I live in Kenya which is terrible for its carbon footprint but perfect for a delightful start to each morning.

Burundi Kigeri

Delicious as usual

Current Favourite

Love the African varieties from Rwanda and Burundi and this Kigeri is a real winner. From time to time I'm tempted to add a few extra beans to the grind but then it reminds me that there is plenty of caffeine in the beans to wake me up!

Oranges and butter

Delicious cup of coffee, the butter and orange notes come through really strongly. Similar in taste to the Rwanda Cyato washed
