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. Founded in 2015 by two engineers Dan Brose and Pontien Ntunzwenimana, the company was formed with the intention of helping rebuild the country’s coffee trade after a devastating 12 year civil war. Today the farm works with approximately 1236 smallholders in the local area.

Arabica coffee now represents a considerable proportion of Burundi’s production and export. Although one of the smallest coffee producing countries in East Africa, Burundi boasts ideal conditions for growth. With elevations of 1500-200masl and abundant rainfall, Burundi coffee is characteristically sweet with bright acidity and full body.

Beyond coffee production, Migoti Coffee is involved in community development projects, including building a small hydropower plant to provide renewable energy and exploring new agricultural ventures like essential oil crops to diversify farmers’ income.
