IZERE

Izere Coffee is a family-run business co-founded by a mother-daughter team dedicated to bringing a taste of their native country to their new home country.

Since Deborah Ntawigirira came to Canada from Burundi to pursue her education, she’s noticed that Canadians are never without a cup of coffee in their hands. With that in mind, she and her mother committed to connecting their two homes—Burundi and Canada—through high-quality coffee.

Izere represents hope and faith—values that exemplify the resilience and optimism of the local Burundian people. With each sip of our coffee, you taste the love and hard work of our local communities—our partners in social responsibility.

We aim to provide high-quality Burundian coffee to different markets on a global level while also empowering the local farmers who harvest the beans.

“In every cup of coffee there is a story… we are proud that ours is a story infused with community, providing opportunity and being a part of something greater.”
