Coffee Story - Burundi
All coffees from Burundi are small production micro-lots. Many are heritage coffees from plants with no genetic modification, often growing in the shade of banana trees, among cassava plants, corn, beans, and tea. Their quality is genuine and pure. In Burundi, cultural norms shift slowly, and women still lack full property ownership rights or equal access to education. 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 percent 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 value beyond coffee.
Coffee Story - Guatemala
Guatemala’s unique growing region, with a mild subtropical climate, combined with nutrient-rich volcanic soil, creates an ideal environment for growing some of the most delicious coffee beans La Ceiba is a collective of more than 40 indigenous Poqomam farmers from Palin. The Poqomam farmers have cultivated coffee for over 170 years, and are only in the last few years, they've been able to organize and buy back the land, reclaiming the hillsides, to run their coffee fincas [farms]. Red Bay Coffee and non-profit organization Farm2Cup have worked together for the past two years to help facilitate the export of La Ceiba's coffee, paying the farmers a fair price for the green coffee through a direct trade relationship.
This coffee is ideal for a coffee drinker that enjoys a black coffee with crisp acidity and a sweet nutty finish.
