The cooperative Twaranyuzwe 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 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. Once the cherries were delivered to the washing station, they were sorted to ensure only ripe red cherries.

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.
