Candied Lime and Mixed Berries Wrapped in Hibiscus Aromatics
The farmers of Bumba Hill know there is no place quite like theirs.
In the deep red volcanic soil of this hill, families like Emmanuel’s have cultivated more than coffee. In one of the poorest places we know, they have cultivated joy, collaboration, and hope.
Through our friendship with Long Miles Coffee Project, we helped establish a new washing station at neighboring Ninga Hill. That station connected thousands of families to new opportunity, including access to clean water through a public well.
But many families on Bumba still walk hours for water.
In recent visits, gathered at Emmanuel’s house with his neighbors, the request came with humble grace and dignity. Could Bumba have its own well?
We said yes.
Every penny from bags sold of this coffee helps build that well at Bumba Hill. You can follow the link below to make a tax-deductible gift toward the project.
