Migot Hill 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 production has taken place in this area since the early 1900s.
Burundi is among the smallest coffee-producing countries in East Africa, with a population roughly the same as London. It has the perfect conditions for coffee production: elevations of 1500 - 2000 m, Arabica Bourbon coffee trees, abundant rainfall, and approximately 800,000 families who cultivate an average of 150-200 coffee trees per farm.
