Burundi Kiryama Hill FW
Burundi’s coffee is grown at high altitudes in the rich volcanic soil of regions like Kayanza and Ngozi. These ideal growing conditions contribute to the coffee’s bright acidity, fruity and floral notes, and complex flavours. Burundian coffee is largely produced by smallholder farmers who use traditional methods, ensuring a high level of care and quality.
