Burundi Yandaro

Our coffee team has come to think of Yandaro as the unsung hero of our single origin menu, and Burundi as one of the most underrated coffee origins in the world.

Burundi has emerged as a compelling origin for specialty coffee, with the Kayanza region gaining particular recognition for its unique microclimates and high-quality production. The Burundi Yandaro, offered by Intelligentsia Coffee, serves as a prime example of the nuanced profiles coming out of this East African nation. Coffees from this region are often celebrated for their bright acidity and complex, layered sweetness, which can range from vibrant citrus notes to deep, syrupy undertones.

When evaluating a coffee of this caliber, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the specific aromatic and taste characteristics present in the cup. While every harvest reflects the distinct conditions of its growing season, the meticulous processing methods employed in Burundi consistently highlight the inherent potential of the local heirloom varieties. This selection invites drinkers to explore the sophisticated balance that defines the best of Burundian coffee.
