This year, the beloved Rwanda Nyampinga celebrates it’s 10th anniversary at Equator Coffees. Many have come to know and love our annual single origin selection from Nyampinga: the all-women’s cooperative in Rwanda producing delicious & nuanced coffees with high cup quality. This year’s selection is delicate, tea-like, and sweet with notes of of Earl Grey, black currant, and plum. Nyampinga is an all-women’s cooperative located in Southern Rwanda near the country’s border with Burundi. In 2013, Bloomberg Philanthropies partnered with Sustainable Harvest to develop a non-for-profit training institute for women small-crop farmers. Now known as Sustainable Growers, it has enrolled over 40,000 women across Rwanda and Congo, and in 2021 enrolled women from three rural cooperatives in Tanzania. As part of this program, the women of Nyampinga have received training in agronomy, market access, and quality control, and the result of the farmer's hard work and enhanced knowledge of coffee production has resulted in a resounding improvement in cup quality in a short period of time.
