Bavyeyi coffees are grown in the rich volcanic soil of a remote mountain area of northern Burundi in Ngozi Province at about 1800m, an area famous for its excellent coffees. The conditions in this region are perfect for producing distinctly high-quality coffees. An experienced group of farmers, many of whom are Muslim women, understand that quality can mean empowerment. Bavyeyi coffee was named by Jeanine, of JNP Coffee, in honor of her own mother who grew up in Ngozi and helped her family grow coffee. Bavyeyi means "parents" in Kirundi.

We roast on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and to ensure the best tasting coffees, orders received after Monday may not be processed or shipped until the following week.

Sourced from smallholder farmers in the Ngozi Province, Bavyeyi represents the distinct profile of Burundi · Ngozi Province. This offering from Bard Coffee showcases a complex cup profile featuring apricot, brown sugar, mandarin, chocolate, and floral notes. Because this lot utilizes both fully washed and natural processing, it highlights the versatility of regional production techniques. Generally, processing methods significantly influence the final cup; washed coffees often emphasize acidity and clarity, while natural-processed coffees tend to show heavier fruit and sweetness. By balancing these approaches, this coffee provides a nuanced experience that can be mapped across the flavor wheel. Grown at 1800 masl, the beans reflect the specific environmental conditions of the region, offering a structured and layered profile that highlights the careful work of the contributing smallholder farmers.
