Coffee Description
In Kirundi, Bami means “Kings,” and Bami coffee clearly reigns above other coffees. The product of heritage plants with no genetic modification, this coffee is processed at the Bwayi washing station, a three-time Cup of Excellence winner in 2018 alone. Bami benefits from a particular microclimate in northwestern Burundi, an area known for Kibira National Park and its vast primeval rainforest.

About Jeanine Niyonzima of Burundi
This coffee is sourced from native Burundian, Jeanine Niyonzima, who saw so much potential for quality at Bwayi that she invested in the mill herself, allowing for a rare transparent, direct connection from Ritual to the growers of this exceptional offering.
Ritual Coffee
When Ritual opened its doors on Valencia Street in 2005, they started what many call a coffee revolution in San Francisco. Their goal then—and their goal now—is to craft the very best cup of coffee available anywhere. Period. A pioneer in the recent shift of consciousness that has defined the modern coffee industry, they’ve learned a lot over the years. Still, the care and attention they lavish on their process is unchanged as they work to bring the very best out of the coffees they painstakingly choose, roast, and deliver fresh to coffee lovers worldwide.
With 5 retail stores in the bay area and a roasting facility in the SoMa district of San Francisco, Ritual takes pride in a growing number of direct trade relationships with coffee producers around the world, working with farmers to help them improve their quality with each passing season.
