About This Coffee

The coffee is characterized by a complex flavor profile featuring notes of granadilla, golden syrup, pomelo, and rose hips. The high elevation, humid equatorial mist from Lake Kivu, and rich volcanic soils contribute to the unique terroir of this lot, which was ranked #2 in the Best of Rwanda competition.
