Bahire - Ngozi, Burundi
A new coffee discovery! For years, the team at JNP noted that there was one coffee from Ngozi Province that consistently scored higher than all the others from this region. Given JNP founder’s kinship with the area – after all, her mother was born and raised there – they set out to track down that prized source. It took some work, but they finally found the hill where this special coffee grows. The differentiation that terroir can make in coffee is astounding! JNP Coffee now works with the farmers of Bahire Coffee. In Kirundi, Bahire means “be well.” The women of Bahire are producing exceptional coffee.
This small microlot is from the women producers who own and run the farms and the washing station. Torque started working with JNP last year by getting samples from well before the coffee was ready, we cupped through dozens and dozens of lots of coffee from super early parchment type samples through the long preparation stages. This microlot consistently stood out to our team with its clarity and sweetness. So we bought the entire microlot.

At Torque we believe in buying more coffees from fewer producers and fewer origins We go deep rather than wide. We focus our coffee sourcing to work with a smaller group of like minded coffee producers who share our vision for changing the world of coffee.
Technical Info
Preparation Style: Omni
Our approach to both sourcing and roasting is that every coffee has to be good enough to stand on its own. No blenders, no base coffees, no filler. We take that same approach to roasting and preparation methods. All of our coffees are excellent in nearly every brew method from pour over to espresso.
That being said we have our preferences and so we label our coffees with Espresso, Filter or Omni as a quick way to guide you.
Subscription Type: Modernist
This coffee will be featured in one of these coffee subscriptions.

Proportional Pricing
Out of the $400 billion coffee industry, a meager 5% stays where it's grown, leaving farmers with crumbs. At Torque, we're rewriting this injustice. Our radical approach ensures equity for coffee producers, shifting power dynamics.
Torque Coffees is transforming the coffee industry with Proportional Pricing©, a simple, transparent system that ensures at least 20% of the retail price of every coffee remains in the country of origin. Unlike traditional models that leave producers with scraps, Torque links their earnings directly to the coffee’s retail value, giving them a fairer share. No hidden fees, no complex formulas or giveback schemes—just clear, upfront equity for the people who grow your coffee. By reverse-engineering the supply chain, Torque is creating a fairer system where both producers and consumers know exactly how much value returns to origin.
We're breaking norms, building a fairer future. Torque Coffees reverse-engineered the chain, advocating for a balanced, equitable industry. It's time to empower those who make your coffee. Together, let's dismantle inequality in the coffee world.
Sustainability Info
Since we are all on the consumption end of things we can never get to carbon neutral without stealing the carbon positive from coffee farmers. So instead of aiming for a negative, we are striving to destroy less and be as carbon beautiful as we can.
