Coffee from Rwanda
The land of a thousand hills
Rwanda - Africa's Rising Star
Rwanda has transformed over the past 20 years from a bulk coffee producer to a source of top-tier specialty coffees. This small East African country offers ideal conditions: high altitudes, volcanic soils, and a temperate climate.
Growing Regions
- Huye Mountain in the south - complex and floral
- Nyamasheke at Lake Kivu - fruity and sweet
- Gakenke in the north - bold and spicy
Flavor Profile
Typical Rwandan coffees offer vibrant citrus and berry acidity, paired with floral notes and a clean, tea-like body. The best lots recall cranberry, hibiscus, and honey.
Washing Stations
Rwanda's washing stations are central to quality. Here cherries are washed, fermented, and dried. Each station produces its own distinct character.
