“The legacy of coffee in Burundi was a painful one as it was introduced by the Belgian Colonizers who prohibited the locals and even farmers themselves from enjoying it; the fruits of their own labor.”

“When Burundi gained independence in 1962, the leaders decided to move away from coffee because it had a painful past and started importing, growing and producing tea.”

We at Opulence Coffee, get our Burundi beans from the Kasozi Brothers, who were born in Burundi, and are working to reverse the negative legacy, heal the wounds of the past and use the same crop to empower the lives of farmers. 

Kasozi Brothers: “We believe it when we say, "change the narrative with each sip" because that is exactly what you will be doing with this coffee!”

The Kasozi Brothers also pay back premiums to the co-operative, and they are looking to get even more involved to create a stronger impact going forward.

By purchasing our Signature Light Roast, you are not just getting some amazing coffee, you are also directly helping the coffee farming community of Burundi.
