Her mother grew up in this province harvesting coffee on her family’s farm to cover school fees. This is the reason why this coffee is named, “Bavyeyi”, which means “parents” in Kirundi. JNP coffee has a relationship with the farmers and producers at the washing station, helping to improve practices that will strengthen crops and achieve higher cupping scores. This coffee is processed naturally, giving it a fruity flavor.  This syrupy coffee offers notes of red fruit, brown sugar and vanilla.
