Munyinya was the first hill that made us realize that Burundi coffee had the potential to produce amazing micro-lots. Munyinya lies just beyond the border of Bukeye commune. The dirt road winding towards the hill is cut into the side of steep slopes that drop into cinematic views of the valleys below. Coffee trees line the steady incline that leads to the tiny town center. Despite its beauty, it was a hill that Long Miles almost gave up on because year after year, farmers kept delivering bad quality cherries. But, when a hill holds as much potential as Munyinya, it is worth rolling up our sleeves and pouring our efforts into it day after day.
