Blind Assessment
Sweetly and pungently complex. Grapefruit, orange, flowers, cedary chocolate in aroma through finish. Delicate, lively acidity; silky mouthfeel; flavor saturated finish.
Notes
Burundi is a small, landlocked country in Central Africa. Most coffee is grown in the mountains of the north, bordering Rwanda. Benefiting from ideal growing conditions and large plantings of the heirloom Bourbon variety of Arabica, Burundi coffee has an excellent reputation, though it is better known in Europe than in the United States. Part of the Mystic Monk’s “Coffee of the Month” program, this sample is limited in availability. Mystic Monk Coffee is a small-batch roaster associated with a Carmelite monastery located in the Rocky Mountains of northern Wyoming. Roastmaster Brother Java emphasizes his artisan approach to roasting and his commitment to quality. Visit
Who Should Drink It
