Burundi Nyabiraba Hill Natural
Burundi’s coffee is grown at high altitudes in the rich volcanic soil of regions like Kayanza and Ngozi. These ideal growing conditions contribute to the coffee’s bright acidity, fruity and floral notes, and complex flavours. Burundian coffee is largely produced by smallholder farmers who use traditional methods, ensuring a high level of care and quality.

Country – Burundi
Region – Mumirwa, Nyabiraba Commune
Producer – Smallholder farmer families of Nyabiraba Commune, processed at Kinama washing station. Operated by Migoti Coffee Company.
Altitude – 1750 masl
Specifics – Migoti’s primary station is located at 1850 masl (3°31’54.4″S 29°25’24.7″E), perched high in the mountains above Lake Tanganyika to the east, in the Mumirwa region of Burundi – a narrow and steep highlands region running north-south along the continental divide. The soil in the coffee farming community contains sand, loam and clay.
This particular lot was processed at a new station, north of the Mutambu commune that Migoti Coffee started in 2022 , producing only naturals in 2022 and 2023. The pulping and fermentation facilities are being built now in early 2023 and will be ready for use in the 2024 coffee season. This station is being setup as a means to reduce travel time and distance for pickers, from the point of picking to processing.
Since 2016, Migoti Coffee has worked with the surrounding community to restore coffee production after years of neglect due to war and insecurity, planting tens of thousands of new trees in the past four years. Coffee trees are owned by the local farmers, who maintain micro-plantations on their family land on the hills surrounding the Migoti washing station.
Migoti collects and purchases coffee cherries directly from over 700 coffee farmers, who own as few as 25 trees or as many as 1500 trees on their family land. Over 500 tons of green coffee was produced and exported by Migoti Coffee in the four past coffee seasons.
