Jack’s passion for coffee led him back to Rwanda’s green hills and volcanic soil. Right away, coffee’s ability to bring people together became clear. He saw a resilience and spirit he never imagined possible after what the coffee farmers had been through. He witnessed a level of craft that resulted in some of the world’s best Bourbon Arabica beans. From that moment on, Jack’s mission became clear: to help these remarkable farmers take their rightful place on the global economic stage.
Through Silverback Coffee of Rwanda, Jack is paying forward the same hope and opportunities he had. His story, and the story of every one of the farmers he partners with, is one of hope, and yes, the magical power of coffee to wake up an entire nation and help its people live happily ever after.
They won’t grow into a giant beanstalk. Or lead to a goose that lays golden eggs. These beans, grown and harvested by the coffee farmers of the Cyungo Cooperative, are much more powerful than that. They offer hope to a recovering nation. They create purpose. Connect communities. Protect wildlife. These beans conjure different notes. They can floral. Fruity. Nutty. Chocolatey. They’re prized throughout the world.
And the more of these magic beans we grow, harvest, roast, and sell, the more powerful they become.
