This coffee is sourced from smallholder farms in the Nyakabuye sector of Rwanda. Grown at high elevations between 1700 and 2000 meters, the cool conditions slow cherry development, concentrating sugars in the fruit. The coffee is a Red Bourbon variety processed using the washed method. It features a flavor profile characterized by notes of strawberry, rhubarb, and maple syrup.
Round Hill Roastery has been roasting in Radstock, a few miles south of Bath in Somerset, since 2012, when third wave specialty coffee was still in its early days in the UK. The focus from the start has been single farm and single estate coffees, sourcing the best seasonal harvests from independent growers and cooperatives and paying a premium for distinctive character. Roast profiles are designed to highlight the dynamic flavours naturally present in each coffee. Packaging is colour coded: blue bags for filter, pink for espresso. The roastery is open for tours where visitors can watch the roasting, taste the house blend, and learn about sourcing.
