This coffee was produced by members of the Burundi Seeds Specialty cooperative in the Kayanza province of Burundi. Specifically, these farmers are from the Campazi commune. Burundi is divided into 18 provinces, 119 communes, and 2,638 collines (hills). The province of Kayanza is known for producing exceptional coffees.

Owned by good friends Juste Picasso Nduwayo, Zephyrin Banzubaze and Jeremi Nakimuhan, the Burundi Seeds Specialty cooperative also owns and manages the UMOCO processing facility, where the 847 producers bring their cherries to be processed. UMOCO means light, which essentially reveals the importance of transparency for the cooperative. The three founders, Juste Picasso, Jeremiah Nakimuhana, Zephyrin Banzubaze collectively work with coffee producing families to develop relationships and spread knowledge about coffee production. Producing coffee is not a business for the BSS members, it is a lifestyle. In some cases, these producers need to diversify income by delivering goods via bicycle such as coal or hosting a taxi service.
