## What the Brand Says

> BLACK TEA – WHITE GRAPE – KIWI Kirunga (meaning ‘Volcano’ in Kinyarwanda) is a bold, fruit forward coffee. Expect vibrancy, with flavour notes relying on balance over subtlety to make a well rounded, delicious cup We were lucky enough to meet Laeticia Mukantwaza (co-founder of Rwamatamu) at the Rwandan High Commission, as part of a SheTrades Coffee evening, which aims to increase the trade participation of women entrepreneurs in the coffee sector. Community is a huge focus for Rwamatamu, having purchased land and provided seedlings in the Womens Cooperative in Nyamasheke ,helping to provide financial stability and long term employment for the women in the valley. We are thrilled to be able to support this initiative by offering this wonderful coffee
