What's special about Burundi boutique coffee? What roasts Burundi coffee beans are suitable for?

Burundi coffee has been hailed as the Cinderella story of the coffee world and until recently was known for its quality and taste. When coffee was first grown in Burundi in the 1960s, the crop was unfortunately underutilized, contributing to the world of generic commodity coffee. Burundi coffee brings attention to the development and evolution of coffee.

Unique flavor profile, Burundi stands out among other African coffees for its complex flavor profile. Smooth and balanced coffee with bright pomegranate notes and a clean sugar cane finish. If you haven't tried Burundi coffee yet and want to try it, you can find your favorite Burundi coffee at Front Street Coffee's boutique coffee.

When brewing Burundi coffee, we recommend the use of hand-brewed coffee KONO filter cups.

Although hand brewed coffee requires more preparation time and equipment, you will notice a significant difference in taste and experience more floral and delicate flavors! While it may be easier to use a French press, pouring methods like Chemex will give coffee a unique and delicious flavor that French presses cannot.

Burundi Coffee Roasting

The coffee's delicate flavor and balance make it ideal for medium roasts-roasts that are high enough to bring out the flavor without overwhelming them with deep roast or espresso. Buying fresh coffee from a specialty craft coffee roaster that imports green coffee means you will experience the best flavor within a few days of roasting. Burundi is best suited as a single-source coffee experience, but its unique flavor makes it an excellent complement to any blend or brand.
