A Legacy of Passion and Empowerment
Sunbird Coffee was founded by Illiminee Mukamanzi and Gaudence Mukangabo, two sisters from a coffee farming family in Rwanda. With a deep-rooted love for coffee and a strong belief in the power of community, they set out to create a brand that is as much about exceptional coffee as it is about making a positive impact. Drawing on their experience with Gasharu Coffee, their family farm, Illiminee and Gaudence bring a unique perspective to coffee production that emphasizes quality, sustainability, and social empowerment.
