Burundi AA Kirimiro Coffee

Nutty and roasty flavor with light floral notes.

Before I bought the Burundi coffee, I did read the description, plus the reviews. I decided to give it a try. Let's see, they were not kidding about the full body flavor. Since it is a little on the light roast side, I found pleasantly surprising that the body is very heavy but smooth at the same time. It kind of reminds me of the Sumatra coffees. Comparing it to the Sumatra Black Satin, I have to say the body is the same. The difference in the two coffees that I noticed, the notes on the Burundi has a spicy aftertaste, the black tea is very prevalent at first, then you taste the citrus as the secondary. When the citrus lemon does hit your palate, unfortunately it takes over the black tea. Then, it lingers onto the aftertaste. You would have to be someone who is used to drinking coffee with a highly sensitive, stringent, palette that can pick up the spice! Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of pallet to pick up the nutty flavoring it mentioned. But maybe your coffee cupping connoisseural palettes will be able to pick it up. I challenge you all to try this coffee. The minute I opened this bag, I knew I was in for a real treat!

We love Ethiopian coffees, Costa Rican, and a few others. We do not like over-roasted coffee, like Starbucks likes to serve. I was fortunate to try Burundi several years ago from a local roaster, who brought this in as a trial. Loved it, unfortunately they did not get more.

This has to be one of our favorites as a medium roast, with a full body, slightly fruity on the front and a nutty finish make this a great brew. I liked it so much, that my last order was for 5 pounds!

I'll admit that I was lured into trying the Burundi AA because of the sale price. It was a real bargain, though, as it tastes delicious. I am a big fan of African coffees, and this is up there with my favorites, Ethiopian and Tanzanian.

Great!
