Grown near a high-altitude rainforest among tea, banana, bean and cassava plants, these exceptional coffee cherries are sourced through our partnership with JNP Coffee. In Kirundi, “incuti” means relative, but it can also mean friend.
JNP Coffee is committed to transforming the lives of people in Burundi through economic empowerment, with a specific focus on women producers. For Burundi’s smallholder coffee farmers, empowerment comes through their ability to generate a living income. In Burundi, cultural norms shift slowly, and women still lack full property ownership rights or equal access to education. In an economic sense, women in countries such as Burundi are often considered underutilized assets. JNP Coffee uses the power of specialty coffee to transform the lives of women growers by paying them directly for their work, encouraging community and challenging customs as they become central participants in their local economies. Typically, women reinvest 90% of their income back into their families and community. No wonder women-produced coffee commands a premium in today's market. We recognize that it holds a value beyond coffee.
