Story
Producer:
A widow in Muyinga, determined to break barriers in an industry traditionally dominated by men, built a coffee business. She named it after the Kirundi word for courage, reflecting the strength and perseverance required for her journey. Inspired by Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian and JNP Coffee, she learned from other women farmers and now shares her knowledge with the next generation. This Bourbon coffee is grown at an elevation of 1,683 meters and undergoes a natural wet milling process, all under the guidance of women. Every aspect of this coffee embodies the spirit of refusing to be told no.
Place:
Burundi, a landlocked country, faces challenges in producing coffee, but it still manages to craft some of the most intricate cups in East Africa. Ngozi, Kayanza, and Muyinga farms, located at an altitude of 1,600 to 2,000 meters, process their coffee at washing stations modeled after Ethiopia’s but operated more efficiently. Many of these stations are led by women who have taken over an industry that was not designed with them in mind. The coffee harvest season runs from March to July, and it is worth every mile it travels.
