About The Coffee This coffee was grown in Mutambu Commune of the Mumirwa region, Burundi. 173 smallholders contributed to the lot, including lead farmer Thomas Kurubone. After harvest, cherries were sold to Migoti Coffee, who processed it at their washing station in Migoti Hill. Here, cherries were sorted, left to ferment for one day, then pulped and washed. Next, the coffee was pre-dried on tables in the shade for 5 days, before being moved into the sun for full drying on raised beds for 2-3 weeks.
