Your guide to Burundi Green Coffee Beans for Home Roasting

  • How to Roast Burundi Coffee

    With its high sugar content and dense beans, Burundi coffee requires a bit of finesse. Start with a high charge temperature—this helps you hit the bean’s core quickly without scorching the outside. Once the heat is in, ease off and let the roast momentum carry those sugars to perfection. Washed Burundian beans? Go slightly higher on the temperature to bring out that brightness and sweetness. Naturals need a slower development to avoid scorching. Keep it light for fruity, floral flavours or go darker for a rich, chocolatey profile.

  • Flavour Profiles of Burundi Coffee Beans

    Burundi’s coffee is known for its lively acidity and intricate flavour profiles. Think citrus, berries, and stone fruits, all with a hint of spice like cinnamon or clove. Whether you're roasting light or dark, these beans will surprise you with their depth. The best flavour profiles of Burundi coffee showcase a balance of sweet and tart, with a juicy mouthfeel and a clean finish. You’ll often find Burundi coffee tasting notes include vibrant fruits paired with a smooth, medium body.

    If you’re home roasting, play around with a lighter roast to bring out those crisp fruity notes, or take it darker for a richer, more chocolatey brew. Burundi coffee is versatile and dynamic, perfect for anyone looking to explore bold, refreshing flavours.
