Musumba
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Musumba is a site located in the Muramvya province of Burundi. It is managed in connection with the Bukeye washing station, which was the first washing station established by the Long Miles Coffee Project.
Challenges
Coffee production in Burundi faces significant hurdles including soil erosion caused by fluctuating rainfall and limited access to proper fertilization for maintaining healthy trees.
Innovations
The site utilizes meticulous management practices, including double fermentation—dry for 12 hours followed by 24 hours submerged in water—and drying on traditional African raised beds.
