Burundi Bavyeyi - Natural

Our Burundi Bavyeyi Natural is a beautifully expressive Bourbon from Burundi’s Ngozi Province, produced by members of the Bavyeyi Cooperative. Notes of dark chocolate, crisp apple, blueberry, and cinnamon come together to create a layered sip with a lovely balance of fruit and warmth.

Grown by the 2,000-member cooperative—with many of them women—this coffee represents the future of equitable coffee farming. It’s a return favorite, thanks to its exceptional quality and the powerful story behind every cup.

Origin: Burundi

In the highlands of northern Burundi, Ngozi Province is a region where coffee growing is deeply woven into the fabric of its communities. At approximately 1,800 meters above sea level, its distinctive terroir produces coffees with remarkable vibrancy and complexity. The region carries particular significance for JNP founder Jeanine Niyonzima Aroian, whose mother grew up in Ngozi.

Sourcing

Bavyeyi is produced by more than 2,000 members of the Bavyeyi Cooperative, many of whom are women, with support from JNP and founder Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian. JNP works alongside producers to strengthen farming practices and achieve the quality needed to command premium prices, while its broader work supports financial literacy, leadership, education, and access to clean water in coffee-growing communities. We’re proud to bring this exceptional lot back for its third year, continuing a relationship that began with the first JNP Grand Cru Auction in 2023.

Roasting

A medium roast brings forward the coffee's natural fruit character while developing its deeper chocolate notes and warming spice. Dark chocolate and blueberry are complemented by crisp apple and a delicate hint of cinnamon.
