PROCESS: YEAST NATURAL
REGION: KAYANZA
VARIETAL: RED BOURBON
TASTE: CHERRY, MILO, CREAMY
About:
In Burundi, the predominant coffee varietal is Red Bourbon. There’s a big challenge here as it’s hard for producers to justify the cost and difficulty of removing older trees to plant new ones which increases yields but will take 3-4 years before the first harvest, but most farms in Burundi are very small and the profits are so small it’s rarely worth going without profits for this time. Because of this, a lot of farms have crops that are 50 years old but their yields are minimal due to it. To incretivize farmers to replace their trees, Greenco procures seeds from an instution in Burundi and ages them 3-4 years before replanting in these farms, allowing producers to skip the initial no harvest stage of new trees.
