We are proud to announce that Intelligentsia will be shipping Ikirezi Burundi: Kirundo Muyinga to the coffee club members in February.
Kirundo Muyinga is a coffee of dimension and of clarity. Notes of green apple, citrus zest, and clementine orange create a lasting impression on the palate. A finish of honey reinforces the cleanliness.
This coffee was harvested between May and July of 2009 at an altitude of 1,500 – 1,700 meters. Kirundo Muyinga is a bourbon, typica varietal.
Coffee is Burundi’s principal export, but it is consistently sold at a commodity price. In recent years, Specialty coffee has come to be recognized and acknowledged as a venue of optimism and prosperity for the Burundi people. With perfect climate and altitude, Burundi has the potential to produce truly great coffees. Intelligentsia’s Direct Trade Ikirezi is a realization of this promise.
For more information on the coffee please download Sarah Kluth’s tasting notes.
