Burundi lies directly south of Rwanda in eastern Africa. Peter Giuliano was visiting our Rwandan partners when he was asked to visit Burundi and he obliged. He witnessed the transition from government control to market liberalization in the coffee trade, essentially putting control back in the coffee farmers' hands. Political roadblocks and logistical problems made the journey difficult, but the magnficient coffee of Bwayi, the washing station Peter first visited, has arrived.

The Coffee... This is a small, beautiful lot of Burundian coffee. It containes the classic characteristics: a brilliant, shimmering lemon acidity layered over a sweet body and a beautiful floral characteristic.
