For the geeks: Sourced from more than 1,400 smallholder farmers, this fully washed Bourbon lot comes from the Nyamyumba Washing Station in Rubavu, Western Province. Cherries are selectively handpicked and meticulously sorted on arrival before processing. After pulping, the coffee undergoes 24 hours of wet fermentation, followed by soaking and multi-stage grading, before the parchment is sun-dried on raised tables with continuous hand sorting. Grown in the rich volcanic soils along the Congo Nile Trail, this coffee expresses the high altitude terroir of Rwanda’s western hills. Delicate coffee blossom aromatics open into a round, silky body with notes of cherry and dark chocolate.
