Burundi | Long Miles Coffee Washed

Coffee has a storied past in Burundi, one of the world’s poorest countries. It was introduced to the country in the 1920s under Belgian colonial rule, and all of the farmers were given coffee seedlings and forced to cultivate them with very little resources, support, or compensation to do so.  Burundi is currently struggling to emerge from a 12-year, ethnic-based civil war that began in 1993. But it has been experiencing conflict since its independence from Belgium in 1962, and the country's history is marked by violent tensions between the Hutu majority and the Tutsi minority. Against this backdrop, a new generation of coffee farmers are emerging!
