Roaster's Notes
A coffee from Burundi with notes of cocoa, nougat, and brown sugar offers a decadent and balanced profile. The cocoa provides a rich, chocolatey base, complemented by the creamy sweetness of nougat. Brown sugar adds a warm, caramelized depth, creating a smooth, comforting cup with a velvety finish.
Story
The name “Migoti” comes from a local indigenous tree, which is also the name of the mountain where Migoti built their first coffee washing station.
This washing station operates in a region referred to as Migoti Mountain, in Mutambu Commune of Bujumbura Province, 30 km from the centre of Bujumbura. Coffee farming and production began in Burundi in the early 1900s under Belgian colonial rule, where farmers were forced to grow coffee, the produce was bought and processed by the state and coffee was exported primarily to Europe. The sector was privatized in the 1960s, followed by state control from 1976 to 1991, and then a new wave of privatization began in 1991.
