I’ve been quite impressed with the selection of Burundi coffees I’ve sampled this year, so I was thrilled to get to try another option from a roaster I’d never tried before through my Crema.co playlist.
The coffee begins with a creamy and sweet fragrance in which I smelled baking chocolate most prominently. The flavor was delicious and had a sweet-tart structure that was bright and full of stone fruit and various more subtle berry notes. The acidity was strong and the entire cup had a wonderful crispness throughout. The coffee had a tea-like body and a fruit-forward sweetness. I enjoyed it both as espresso and in pour over, though I think it shined best as a pour over where the brightness and tart sweetness really shone through.
The Bottom Line
Heza joins the growing list of Burundi coffee I have tried this season and been very impressed with. This was one of the more approachable Burundi coffees I have tried recently and a great option for someone looking to try an African coffee that isn’t extremely exotic.
