About this product
This coffee is a complex medium light coffee. Depending on how you brew it the flavors run from cocoa nibs, dates, and spice (V60 or Chemex), all the way to something a bit softer, like sweet pears and musk melon (Aeropress). This is an absolutely perfect coffee to experiment with different brewers, and how they can affect the flavor, acidity, and body of your coffee.

| This fully washed lot is sourced from exclusively women producers supplying Mbizi washing station, a wetmill operated by Gihanga Coffee Company in Kamonyi district. Mbizi sits at around 2,200 masl making it one of Rwanda's highest altitude wetmills. Gihanga works with over 3,000 small farmers in the region. These producers cultivate bourbon trees and their farms average around 4ha in size. Mbizi washing station is located in Rukoma sector, Kamonyi district, in Rwanda's Southern Province. Like much of Rwanda — the land of a thousand hills — the terrain is mountainous, rugged and exceptionally beautiful. Rich volcanic soils, plentiful sunshine, and tropical rainfall provide exceptional conditions for the cultivation of arabica, and the Bourbon variety particularly excels in the high elevations of Rwanda's mountains. | |
