Twaranyuzwe is a coffee cooperative that was created in 2013 by smallholder coffee farmers in Kavumu, Burundi. Twaranyuzwe translates to “we have understood'. The cooperative selected this name to signify the importance and understanding of the future in coffee.

915 specialty coffee producers, 490 of which are coop members from Twaranyuzwe contributed to this particular lot. These coffee producers transported their cherries, grown on farms up to 1840 meters above sea level, and delivered them to the Kuvumu Washing Station. After delivery the cherries are sorted to ensure only the ripest cherries are used. Every lot is pre-dried in the shade where it is sorted again intensively. Finally, they are moved to regular drying beds in the sun for 10-15 days depending on the weather. The level of care that goes into naturally-processed coffees like this one really shows through in the cup!

Our cupping team loved how sweet this coffee was and how much fruit comes through in the cup. Some naturals are heavily berry forward but this coffee leans more into the cherry and citrus end of the flavor spectrum.
