Hinga Kawa

Say hello to Hinga Kawa, our second Rwandan coffee grown by a co-op of women farmers. Since joining the Café Femenino program, the women farmers of Hinga Kawa have increased their income, their ability to organize, and their leadership opportunities

The co-op was formed in the wake of the Rwandan Genocide in 1994. Survivors and leaders to their core, nearly half of these women became the sole providers for their families after their husbands were killed or jailed during the 1994 genocide.

The coffee is grown in high altitudes and the washing station is fairtrade certified.

Hinga Kawa is a single-origin bean which features aromas of jasmine, berry, lemongrass, and citrus with a light, crisp flavor of earl grey, jasmine, and lemon.
