RUGAMBA 286, RWANDA
- Origin: Rwanda
- Region: Rutsiro
- Varietal: Red Bourbon
- Process: Washed
This month’s coffee takes us to Rutsiro, Rwanda, for a beautifully delicate but distinctive drinking experience.
Grown by smallholder farmers on the hills surrounding Lake Kivu, this coffee benefits from the region’s high altitudes and rich volcanic soils, which contribute to its silky texture and fruity character.
This coffee is a Red Bourbon varietal which is celebrated for its sweetness and complexity in the cup. Following harvest, the coffee undergoes a washed process, where the fruit is carefully removed through fermentation before the beans are dried on raised beds for 20–25 days.
Expect a light, tea-like profile with fragrant notes of Earl Grey, delicate citrus acidity, and a smooth brown sugar sweetness. Delicate and bright, this coffee is a perfect all-day drinker.
We recommend pairing with: Lemon shortbread
