This fully washed lot comes from smallholder farmers located on Masenga Hill, near Migoti Washing Station.

Pontien Ntunzwenimana is majority owner of the Migoti Washing Station in Mutambu, Burundi and was born and lived through his childhood in Mutambu. The multi-generational coffee farmers in Pontien’s home community had all but abandoned coffee as a source of income due to the 12-year civil war (1993-2005) when their Arabica coffee trees were neglected and destroyed. With peace in the country and a state-of-the-art coffee washing station that Pontien built in 2016, the local community has new-found hope for the future, and farmers are again investing in their coffee farms. Pontien’s six years of green coffee production in Mutambu (2016-2022) have proven the local coffee to be some of the best in Burundi. Migoti Coffee's vision is to see the local coffee-growing community grow in health and economic prosperity, with quality coffee production as one of several entrepreneurial activities underway.

This Coffee is like a dialed down Kenyan Coffee. Expect big apple juice and Prune Juice type taste with bog body. One of our favorites for sure! Dial in is pretty standard, we didn't have to change much in terms of grind setting for this coffee.
