Roaster notes
Nova Coffee and Ikawa House are jointly bringing Nova to Boon Boona for the third year in a row. Agnes Mukamushinja founded the washing station in 2015. Nova Coffee now engages with over 2,800 local smallholders with a focus on women farmers. Ikawa House has already changed the way coffee is sourced in Rwanda.
Roaster
Boon Boona coffee are committed to sharing the unique coffee traditions of Africa. Founder and CEO Efrem Fesaha is from an Eritrean family but grew up in Seattle and used his understanding of the two vastly different cultures to make is mark on the coffee industry. After his initial business plan to open an East African coffee shop was rejected by banks, he remained persistent and in 2011 began importing quality green coffee directly from Ethiopia instead. Over the years word spread through the community, then Efrem began receiving requests for roasted beans, so he experimented and the Boon Boona Roastery and Cafe was born.
