My name is Anna, I am a co-founder and President of Bon Marche. e-kawa is a unit of Bon Marche. I am a coffee drinker. I started looking for a good cup of coffee for my morning. My husband who was traveling back and forth from Sonoma, California to Rwanda, brought us a selection of World coffees, including two Rwandan coffee bags, and I was hooked. From then on, he was advised to never come back without a good amount of Rwandan coffee.
Bon Marche is a non-profit organization. It has a store in Sonoma. We decided to start selling Rwandan coffee, first in our store, then here online as a way to share it with the world and as a way to help Rwandan farmers who grow it. Bon Marche is a partner of Gardens for Health International (GHI), a US-based non-profit organization that seeks to provide agricultural solutions to the problem of chronic childhood malnutrition.
Our best Rwandan coffee find is Gorilla’s Coffee.
