Floral acidity, spicy fruit, and a hint of lemon. A nice vanilla and chocolate aspect to the flavor complemented the very smooth mouthfeel. Impressive flavor persistence in a long, rich finish.
Burundi is a small, landlocked country in Central Africa. Most coffee is grown in the mountains of the north, bordering Rwanda. Benefiting from ideal growing conditions and large plantings of the heirloom Bourbon variety of Arabica, Burundi coffee has an excellent reputation, though it is better known in Europe than in the United States. This particular Burundi was produced from trees of the Bourbon variety and Bourbon derivative varieties Jackson and Mibirizi. Founded in 1994, Kaldi's Coffee is a quality-oriented small-batch roaster with several cafes throughout Missouri.
