Context

Produced in the Muyinga region of Burundi, the Café Burundi Butihinda 1kg is a selection curated by Coutume Café. This lot undergoes a lavé (washed) process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent acidity and clean profile of the bean. In the cup, the roaster identifies notes of apricot, caramel, and pink peppercorn.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize these distinct sensory experiences. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their bright, crisp clarity, the specific character of this Burundi offering reflects the unique terroir of the Muyinga province. By focusing on the interplay between the sweetness of caramel and the nuanced fruit and spice notes, this coffee provides a clear example of the regional profile expected from this part of the country.
