Burundi-Kayanza Region

Burundi is a landlocked country in the Great Lakes region of East Africa. It shares borders with Rwanda to the north, Tanzania to the east and south, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west.

Gakenke is a renowned coffee station located in the Gatara Commune of Kayanza Province, Burundi. The farmers primarily cultivate older bourbon varieties, which are the original coffee cultivars brought to the region in the 1930s by Catholic monks from Réunion Island. Positioned at an altitude of 1,672 meters above sea level, Gakenke has farms that extend even higher.

The name 'Gakenke' originates from a local plant known for its slender, hollow stems, traditionally used for consuming homemade banana beer.
