## What the Brand Says

> The village of Mpemba, a tiny and tranquil hamlet tucked into the rolling hills of Burundi’s Kayanza province, is home to the Kazoza N’Ikawa cooperative. In the Kirundi language, Kazoza N’Ikawa translates to “the future is coffee”—a name hinting at the commitment to quality exemplified by its members. The coffees we buy from the co-op are not only our favorites from Burundi but across the entire region. This washed lot exhibits all of the hallmarks that make Burundian coffees so unique. Look for juicy top notes of clementine intermingled with flavors of honey and a tea-like body. Pronunciation: PEM-bah
