In the hills of Burundi, farmers tend their coffee crop. Their livelihoods depend on a good harvest.
Coffee in the small central African nation is more than just a hot drink; it's a valuable commodity that props up Burundi's agrarian-based economy.
The world of Starbucks baristas and double macchiatos are an alien concept to coffee growers in one of Africa's poorest nations, where 55% of the population earns their livelihood from Arabica beans.
Chantal Ka-Hor-Rury, a coffee trader and head of a collective that helps farmers bring their crop to market, is committed to helping Burundi expand its coffee industry.

Burundi. I would not have guessed.
I can't drink coffee.. In any form.. The most amount of caffeine I can handle is what comes in diet coke or tea. I rarely drink diet coke nowadays, though unsweetened iced tea is a staple with me.
I have un-medicated ADHD so anything with a higher caffeine content than soda makes me break out in cold sweats, I get jittery and shaky, and I feel extremely sleepy and tired though I may not be able to make myself go to sleep. I used to be able to drink frappuccinos but I ordered one a couple of weeks ago from Starbucks (a large salted caramel with a shot of chocolat), drank 1/3 of it and started feeling woozy and gross....
And you sound like you have the mentality of a 2 year old.
