The Rwandan single origin coffee has been produced as a result of a partnership between Owens Coffee and Plymouth-based Jabo Butera of the Diversity Business Incubator (DBI). This organic single origin is produced by the Twongerekawa Coko Cooperative: a group of 138 members who grow their coffee at unusually high levels (2000m above sea level) so the beans are slowly ripened and full of flavour. The Coko Cooperative is a small, mostly female cooperative based in Northern Rwanda and found in the highest areas of the Gakenke District. These females are celebrated community leaders; supporting them supports their communities. Owens and Jabo have a direct relationship with the Twongerekawa Coko Cooperative. Sales of the beans will support an initiative which connects ambassadors from the UK and Rwanda to exchange knowledge, nurture leadership and encourage positive global change.

It's a pleasure to go to market to see the Apricot Centre stall brimming with seasonal produce and flowers. It feels good to know that purchasing my veg from them helps support local farmers, improves local economy and its biodiversity.
