About This Coffee

This is a natural processed Bourbon variety coffee from the Huye region of Rwanda, grown at 1,700 meters above sea level. Produced by David Rubanzangabo, who has been working in Rwanda's coffee industry since 1998 and began Huye Mountain coffee production in 2012. The farm works with over 1,300 small local farmers across a cultivated area and has achieved notable results in national competitions including second place in the Cup of Excellence 2012. Ripe cherries are carefully hand-selected, then sorted by flotation before being sun-dried on raised African beds for 3-4 weeks.

Kima was named Best Specialty Coffee of Spain in 2024 and ranked in the top 100 coffee destinations worldwide by Neodrinks in 2025. Rabi works exclusively with 100% Arabica specialty coffee, hand roasting each batch and selecting from a wide range of origins that includes rare varietals like Geisha from Colombia and Wild Orchid Liberica from Vietnam. An in house academy trains professionals from the hospitality sector, with baristas traveling to Malaga specifically for the courses. The philosophy is direct: flavor, traceability, zero artifice.
