Burundi Coffee Taste Test - The Secret Star of Africa

Burundi — a country smaller than Delaware but producing coffees as grand as any in Africa. In this long-form tasting, coffee legends Kenneth Davids and Kevin Sinnott dive deep into one of the world’s least-known origins. Together they explore Burundi’s volcanic terroir, double-washed processing method, and its trademark balance of brightness, winey sweetness, and floral depth. The team blind-tastes five Burundi coffees, including: ☕ Neighbor’s Coffee Burundi Peaberry — washed, classic and complex, rich with wine and chocolate notes. ☕ Burundi Star Coffee — grown by roaster Jocelyn in Portland, Maine, from her family’s farm in Gazi Province; sweet, tropical, and deeply personal. ☕ Red Eye Coffee Burundi — intriguing but flawed, showing the starchy “potato” note unique to the region. ☕ Jamison Coffee Burundi — smooth and subtle, with honey and cocoa. ☕ Coffee Labs Burundi GQ3 — natural processed, with macadamia, baker’s chocolate, and dried apricot. Along the way, Ken and Kevin uncover what makes Burundi special — from smallholder farms and washing stations to the legendary “potato defect.” They compare washed, honey, and natural processes, and debate which cup best represents Burundi’s elegant, wine-like signature. If you love African coffees or want to understand why Burundi may be the next great origin, this episode is essential viewing.
