Kinama Hill Washing Station is a notable coffee processing facility operated by Migoti Coffee Company. Established in 2022, it is located in the Bujumbura Rural Province of Burundi, an area known for producing high-quality coffee. The station initially focused on producing natural-processed coffee, such as in this example. However, it expanded in 2023 to include a wet mill, allowing it to produce washed coffees starting from the 2024 season.
The coffee from Kinama Hill is typically Red Bourbon, a variety known for its rich and complex flavour profile. The high altitude (around 1,700 to 1,900 meters above sea level) and fertile volcanic soil contribute to the distinctive characteristics of the coffee. This example includes tasting notes like cola, blueberry, and stone fruit.
The establishment of Kinama Hill Washing Station is part of a broader effort by Migoti Coffee to improve coffee quality and provide better economic opportunities for local farmers through sustainable and efficient processing methods. Our importer, Omwani has been working with Migoti Coffee since 2020, importing over 80 tonnes of green coffee and supporting thousands of farmers.
