Coffees from Burundi always stun us with their balance between bright red fruit notes, silky florality and deep tea complexity. We're so proud to partner with JNP Coffee for another season to bring you Turihamwe. We taste green apple, red fruit and a hint of vanilla. 

Turihamwe means “together” in Kirundi. This coffee is the product of efforts of seven women coffee producers who pooled their savings from coffee premiums (paid for higher quality coffee cherry) to build their own wet mill. This enables them to decrease dependency on other wet mills and expands their ability to control the quality of their coffee beyond harvest. Their wet mill processes their own cherry along with cherries from neighboring producers.
