Origin
Burundi is a small Great Lakes country where coffee is grown by many smallholders on high-altitude hillsides. Kalico is a Bourbon from the Kirundo region in the north of the country. Burundian coffees are prized for their clarity and fruitiness, with a lively acidity reminiscent of the great East African coffees.
On the palate
On the palate, the attack is clean, followed by blackberry and orange. The acidity stays fresh without turning sharp, and the cup keeps a real roundness. It is a good choice for discovering African Arabicas without going towards very floral profiles.
How to brew it
Its liveliness shines in a filter coffee maker or French press. In a moka pot, it makes a bolder coffee with orange coming through on the finish.
Moka pot method: fill the base with water up to the valve, add the ground coffee to the filter basket without tamping, then heat over medium heat. Take the pot off the heat as soon as the coffee starts to gurgle, to avoid bitterness.
Order whole beans for a bean-to-cup coffee machine (De’Longhi, Krups, Philips…) or a grinder, or choose the grind that suits your brewer: espresso machine, moka pot, filter or French press.

Frequently asked questions
Is Burundi Kalico an acidic coffee?
It has a fresh, fruity acidity typical of East Africa, balanced by a generous body. If you prefer less acidity, choose a longer extraction, such as a French press or a moka pot.
Which grind should I choose?
Whole beans for a bean-to-cup machine or a grinder. Otherwise, choose the grind that matches your brewer: espresso, moka pot, filter or French press.
Can I drink the Burundi Kalico with milk?
We recommend drinking it black to enjoy its notes (balanced and bright, with notes of blackberry and orange). Milk masks some of its finesse, but it is still pleasant with a dash of milk.
How many cups per bag?
A 125 g bag makes about 17 espressos (at 7 g per cup), and a 250 g bag about 35.
How should I store the Burundi Kalico?
Keep the bag tightly closed, away from air, light, heat and moisture, at room temperature rather than in the fridge. Once opened, enjoy it within 3 to 4 weeks to get the most out of its aromas.
Where can I buy the Burundi Kalico in Morocco?
On ticafew.ma. The Burundi Kalico is artisan-roasted in France and delivered anywhere in Morocco within 2 to 5 days from Agadir, with cash on delivery. Delivery is free on orders of 350 DH or more.
