  • About Mutambu Hill | Burundi

    This washed Red Bourbon lot comes from the Mutambu Commune in the Mumirwa region of Burundi, grown at 1,800 metres above sea level — an altitude that lends the coffee the slow ripening and complex character that Burundian Bourbon is known for. 384 smallholder farmers contributed their cherry to this single community lot, including lead farmers Erneste Habonimana, Fidele Sinzotuma, Damien Baransamaje, Philippe Ntagahoraho and Leonard Ndimugipfunsi.

    After harvest, cherries were delivered to Migoti Coffee's washing station on Migoti Hill, where they were sorted, fermented for 24 hours, pulped and washed. The coffee was then pre-dried in shade for five days before moving to raised beds in full sun for a further two to three weeks — a careful drying process that preserves brightness and clarity in the cup.

Processing Method

Washed

The washed process is the traditional method where the fruit is removed from the bean after harvest using water and de-pulpers. The coffee is sometimes fermented to break down remaining sugars before being washed in grading channels and then dried. This results in a “clean” cup that highlights the bean’s inherent origin characteristics and bright acidity.

Coffee Varietal

Bourbon

One of the oldest and most influential arabica varietals, Bourbon traces its origins to the island of Réunion (formerly Bourbon), where it was cultivated from Yemen's Typica stock. It's prized for its complex sweetness, often yielding notes of caramel, fruit, and chocolate. Bourbon tends to be delicate and susceptible to disease, but its cup quality is considered exceptional, and it forms the genetic backbone of many modern varietals.
