Burundi - Producer Info

In Muyinga, Burundi, one woman's journey into coffee began where many might have turned away. After losing her husband, she found her voice and her footing in a male-dominated industry, guided by the values of courage and leadership captured in the Kirundi word ntwari (meaning "hero"). Having learned the craft of specialty coffee through the JNP Coffee community, she now leads a growing operation processed at a women-owned wet mill and turns her hard-won experience into opportunity for the next generation of young women farmers.

Mood and JNP are respecting this wet-mill owner's wishes by keeping her anonymous. She has chosen not to disclose her name to the public and we respect that. Wondering why we trust the sourcing of this coffee and still consider it fully traceable? Jeanine (owner of JNP) has met and worked with the owner directly, vouching for her credentials. JNP also disclosed the coordinates of the wet-mill to us and shared other verifiable info through conversations while sourcing this coffee. We are proud to offer this coffee to our customers and respect this woman's right to privacy.
