Rwumba

Introducing a classic Rwanda coffee at its best: our Rwumba Rwanda. Take a juicy acidity and a sryupy body then couple that with distinct mandarin orange, sugar cane juice, green grape, and cocoa notes and you have a quintessential Rwanda coffee. Not to mention that the native honeybees that live around the Nyungwe Forest (where this coffee is grown) are said to be responsible for the unique profile of this coffee. The bee-assisted pollination, fertile soil, and cool lake-affect climate from Lake Kivu all contribute to a classically refined coffee that is thick, sweet, and distinctly Rwandan. If you are a lover of the classic Rwanda profile with a prominent sweet orange note, this coffee is definitely for you.

This microlot was produced by smallholder farmers contributing coffee cherry to the Abadatezuka Cooperative, specifically growers in the surrounding Rwumba region. The Rwumba area in Rwanda is gifted in terroir when it comes to coffee growing. The cool, humid climates of both Lake Kivu and the Nyungwe Forest National Park keep groundwater abundant throughout the uniquely mountainous region. Couple that with the unique bee pollination mentioned above and sandy loamy soil, and you have the ideal conditions for producing a distinctly lovely cup of coffee. Farmers here also use no synthetic inputs, either as fertilizer or pest control, so you can feel good about each cup of coffee you drink.
