Coffee Cooperative Dohorerabarimyi is located in the highest mountains of northern Burundi. Regularly hidden in fog, it is an old forest area. Perfect circumstances for growing one of the best coffees in Burundi.
Nelson Brumuni is the elected president of this 500 members strong cooperative. Nelson is loved by the members and a stable factor since the beginning in 2012. Besides being the president he is also a coffee farmer himself.
We purchased this coffee as a result of our collaboration with Pure Africa Coffee, an importer of green coffee from Rwanda, Burundi and soon Uganda. For this Collaboration, Ikigai Coffee takes care of the quality assessment of the coffees from all visited coops and when a coffee like this hits the table, we just had to share it.
Premium
More often than not, a bonus paid for quality does not find its way to the smallholders. But because of the well established and open relationships Pure Africa maintains with their partners in Rwanda and Burundi, the farmers receive premiums on top of their requested pricing for high cupping scores. Pure Africa also offers micro credits for partners to invest in their business and thus to avoid expensive loans from rural banks where interest rates vary between 20%-25%.
