From the producer

Turihamwe Turashobora is the women-led group behind the washing station. JNP’s current financial-literacy page credits seven women with raising $100,000 for Burundi’s first woman-owned washing station; its 2018 construction report described seven women and three men contributing $60,000 at an earlier stage.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia identifies this as a Bourbon lot from the small group of women who own and operate the Turihamwe washing station.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Coffee from Burundi’s first washing station built and owned by women farmers, giving its founders direct control over processing, quality and more of the value chain.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Corrected processing-site modeling

Removed Turihamwe from the coffee’s farm relationship because the sources identify it as the women-owned washing station/wet mill.

02
Preserved the producer group

Kept Turihamwe Turashobora as the producer organization behind the lot and the station.

03
Reconciled structured release fields

Added the documented archived $21 USD price for 12 oz (340 g) and made the absence of a formal green-coffee grade explicit.

04
Preserved the dated chronology

Kept JNP’s current seven-women/$100,000 account separate from its 2018 seven-women-and-three-men/$60,000 construction-stage report.

05
Maintained evidence limits

Did not import fermentation, drying or harvest details from other roasters’ Turihamwe releases and did not convert Cherrybook’s evidence index into sentiment.

What was added?

Correct washing-station-versus-farm modeling and the documented archived price.

What wasn't added?

No individual contributing farms, release-specific fermentation duration, drying schedule, harvest window, conventional roast level, formal grade, owner score or public sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The women’s collective owns a processing station, not one estate farm; retaining the station as a farm would create a false relationship and derived tag.

What you might taste

Plum, tamarind and dried fruit, from the exact Intelligentsia release.
