Bavyeyi is a producer group of about 600 growers in Ngozi, led by and largely composed of women. JNP Coffee, founded by Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian, provides development support and export access; it is not the sole farmer.
Partners Coffee presents Bavyeyi as a fruit-forward, full-bodied light roast suited to hot or iced filter brewing.
A community-grown natural Red Bourbon whose traceability is correctly held at producer-group level rather than assigned to one farmer.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Growers deliver ripe coffee fruit from many very small Ngozi plots.
Cherries move directly to raised mesh beds and dry in the sun over several weeks.
Workers continually rake the drying fruit for uniformity and hand sort defects.
No fruit or flavoring ingredient is disclosed.
No inoculated culture, co-ferment or post-roast flavoring is reported.
Careful whole-fruit drying concentrates sweetness and produces the lot's full-bodied fruit character.
Strawberry, orange, vanilla, ripe berries, yellow peach, blood orange and tropical candy.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
