This coffee comes to us from the Mageyo Mill, located on a hill called Muyabara in north-west Burundi.  The hill is surrounded by fruit trees, free-roaming chickens and nine higher hills on which the producers grow specialty coffee.   The Mageyo mill is one of 13 mills that form the Akawa project, a joint venture between SUCCAM and Supremo.  The Akawa project was created to help coffee producers escape the cycle of poverty in a sustainable and equitable way. Coffee Producers, striving for fair pay and better living conditions, demanded a path towards prosperity. This project is focused on bringing this into reality.  Good agricultural practices, environmental responsibility and social equity are the central tenets of success for project members.
