About the farm:
Grown in the Mutambu Commune of Burundi’s Mumirwa region, this special lot brings together cherries from 173 smallholder farmers, led by producer Thomas Kurubone. Cultivated on the lush slopes surrounding Migoti Hill, the coffee reflects the region’s high altitude, rich soils, and meticulous attention to quality.
Following harvest, the cherries were delivered to the Migoti Coffee washing station, where they underwent careful hand sorting before being anaerobically fermented for 48 hours in sealed water-filled tanks. The coffee was then slowly dried on raised beds under the sun for 3–4 weeks, allowing the complex flavours to fully develop.
Founded in 2015 by engineers Pontien Ntunzwenimana and Dan Brose, Migoti Coffee works closely with smallholder farmers across Burundi’s Bujumbura Rural Province, focusing on exceptional processing, transparent trade relationships, and long-term sustainability for local farming communities.
The cleanest Anaerobic we have tried, a very complex a crisp coffee with bright notes of passion fruit and pineapple and lots of sweet syrup like caramel on the finish.
