Enyanya #00181

The word “Enyanya” from the Kihavu language means “always elevated”, but in everyday usage, it’s often applied to honor someone specific. By saying “Enyanya…,” one expresses the wish for that person to live long. Among the heavy conflicts of the region, women often suffer disproportionately. At the retreat of Île Idjwi, the Island of Peace, some women have now come together at the Ngula Washing Station to produce a very special lot. They harvested the cherries and cleaned and fermented the coffee at the microstation. They turned the drying coffee cherries on the African beds for optimal drying, continuously selecting throughout. The result is a juicy, round, and exotic cup from the heart of Africa. Cheers to the women!

Enyanya may not be perfect with its selection of 15 secondary defects, but it still stands out with a wonderful, clean flavor profile in the cup. Idjwi Island and its coffee industry provide the people of the region with important employment opportunities and, with them, a genuine prospect of living in peace and building a future through coffee cultivation. We are very pleased to feature this coffee in our range.
