Burundi
Coffee from Burundi has joined the ranks of elite African coffee over the course of the last tens years or so. This one is dense with sweetness and has lively acidity. We get notes of Apricot, Berry Pie, Grapefruit, and Honey.
A lovely coffee; smooth and clean cup. A bit stronger and more potent classic African spice tone. Lighter roasts show some small hints of a lemony acidity, a little soft fruit tone accompanied with some herbal spice and chocolate tones, a bit exotic but balanced. Light roast African fans will find some joy here but for most, pushing the beans into a medium roast will be preferred. Mellows the spice tones creating a much smoother lower acidity cup with a sweet edge. One can still get the spice complexities especially in the aftertaste or as the cup cools but smooth, rich and not too exotic, a lovely roast point for a daily drinker. Darker roasts picked up stronger smoky and roasty tones but it complimented the darker spice tones and sweeter edge of the cup.
Default Roast: Full City (Medium Roast)
Default Grind: Automatic Drip or Whole Bean
