This is a special limited edition micro-lot from Rwanda, specifically from the Bwishaza washing station located north of Kibuye (Lake Kivu region). The coffee is made from Red Bourbon varietal and processed using carbonic maceration natural method, an experimental technique that intensifies fruit flavors. Grown at over 1600 meters altitude, this coffee showcases complex juicy fruit notes with blackcurrant, strawberry, and caramel flavors, complemented by a rich, silky body. The co-operative directly trades with around 500 smallholder farmers.
Bradley and Amelia started Horsham Coffee Roaster in 2012, roasting on a 1kg machine in their garage. The operation has since grown into a purpose built roastery in Burgess Hill, Sussex, where they roast daily on a Loring S35 low emissions roaster. They became the first UK roaster to sign The Pledge at transparency.coffee and maintain direct trade relationships in Rwanda, Kenya, Costa Rica, and Brazil. Most of their coffees score 85 or above on the SCA scale. They also co own Bond Street Coffee in Brighton, listed by The Telegraph among Britain's top 30 coffee shops. BBC Good Food named their subscription the UK's Best Ethical Coffee Subscription.
