WHY WE LOVE THIS COFFEE //
Ntwari coffee comes from Buhumuza in northern Burundi and is produced by a women-owned wet mill. Named after the Kirundi word for courage, it honors a widow who built her own coffee business and now mentors young women in specialty coffee production. 
 
Several years after her husband passed, this inspiring widow found her voice in this male-dominated industry. She was helped by Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian, founder of JNP as she learned with other women farmers how to cultivate specialty coffee the JNP Coffee way.
