Muyinga lies in northeastern Burundi, bordering Tanzania to the east and Rwanda to the north (it was merged into the new Buhumuza province in 2025). It is one of Burundi's main coffee provinces, with volcanic soil and farms at roughly 1,500-1,700 m. The Karambo washing station serves about 2,000 farmers and has produced Red Bourbon honey lots with floral, bergamot character. Washed is the standard process across Burundi.
