【Note】
Burundi is located west of Tanzania, South of Rwanda.  COE is has been held in Republic of Burundi since 2012 on basis of washing stations, not coffee farms/estates.  Butemba Washing Station was selected three times as the finalist since, in 2012, 2013 and 2015, not only co-working with farmers but also supporting their way of living.  The flavor of this cup is bold and creamy, reminds us of dark maple syrup.  Together with chocolate and Japanese sweet may have the best marriage of flavor.  As a note, ACE is not going to hold Cup of Excellence in Africa in 2016 at this moment.
