A mountain gorilla in the Virunga Forest gave birth to twins this week! It's only the 5th case of twins in 40 years!

Rwandan coffee comes to New York!
Bourbon Coffee is the first commerical coffee brand out of Africa to spread internationally. We have 3 stores in Kigali, and my friend James helped open and manage the first two. Bourbon gets its name from Rwanda's Bourbon arabica coffee beans. Bourbon is unique because they are directly involved in the entire process, from growing the beans to brewing the coffee. They pride themselves on being a "Crop to Cup" chain, as this allows the "middle men" to be cut out, and more money goes directly to the farmers. Check it out! And if you're in Manhattan, stop for a cup! Don't go to the Starbucks down the street. :)
