Ntwari Natural - Buhumuza, Burundi
Producer:
A widow in Muyinga built a coffee business in an industry built by and for men, and she named it after the Kirundi word for courage, because that's exactly what it took. She learned from Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian and JNP Coffee alongside other women farmers, and now she's the one teaching the next ones coming up. This Bourbon grows at 1,683 meters and gets naturally processed at a wet mill women run start to finish. Every part of this coffee is someone refusing to be told no.
Place:
Burundi is landlocked, hard to get coffee out of, and still produces some of the most complex cups in East Africa. Ngozi, Kayanza, Muyinga, farmed 1,600 to 2,000 meters, processed at washing stations built on the same model as Ethiopia's but run tighter, many led by women who took over an industry that wasn't built with them in mind. Harvest runs March through July. Worth every mile it travels.

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.
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 and Espressoist
This coffee will be featured in one of these coffee subscriptions.

Proportional Pricing
A minimum of 20% of this bag's retail price stayed in the country where the coffee was grown. Built into the price from the start, not sent back later. The higher the price, the more stays at origin. You don't have to trust us on it. The full math is public.

Sustainability Info
We aim for carbon beautiful, not just carbon neutral. Coffee farming done right stores carbon and protects forests, so we'd rather support producers who farm that way than just offset our own footprint. The full picture is on our Carbon Beautiful page.
