Speciality Coffee

Land holdings in Burundi are extremely small since farmers practice mainly subsistence agriculture
For this reason, Burundi has turned its attention to speciality coffee production.
Quality is a prerequisite element and limiting factor for speciality market
Farmers should therefore strive to produce good quality coffee and buyers should also be willing to pay higher prices for better quality
Since 1998, Burundi started to produce the speciality coffee with its brand name:”NGOMA Mild”.to respond to speciality market requirements. The name NGOMA comes from the traditional drums. The “NGOMA: Drum” and the famous drumers represented the power of the Burundi Kings.

Their music expresses an intense joy and happiness which is too profound and too vital to simply consign it to realms of folklore.
