This coffee is a result of the close collaboration between local farmers and Greenco, a company that employs 10% of the population in the new capital, Gitega, and has a decisive impact on both, the quality of the coffee and the quality of life of the residents.

 The most commonly used varietal is "Red Bourbon" due to its quality, and individual farms take care of about 250 trees, which yields somewhere between 200 and 300 kilograms of coffee annually. The problem in Burundi is that these coffee trees are on average around 50 years old and the yield is less than it could be. ISABU (Institut des Sciences du Burundi) provides farmers with seedlings below the real price, but rejuvenation is very slow, as farmers cannot afford to be without a crop for 3 to 4 years.

 The coffee is excellent. Prepare yourself for a delicate, floral pleasure, complemented by creamy dark chocolate with a hint of nectarine.
