Single origin coffee from Rwanda's Nyaruguru District in the Southern Province. Grown by smallholder farmers at 1500-1950 meters altitude. Red Bourbon variety processed two different ways: washed and natural anaerobic. Dark roast with chocolate flavor notes. Coffee comes from Baho Coffee's Fuji Washing Station, which operates with fair wages, pensions for workers, and supports all-women farms for single and widowed women.
The Artery Community Roasters is a social enterprise based in Ottawa, Ontario, employing people living with disabilities at living wages. They roast in small batches on a Coffee Crafters Artisan XL with a capacity of up to 10 pounds per roast, and ship within one week of roasting. Sourcing is done on a direct trade basis, maintaining one to two degrees of separation from the farmers. The Artery was named Coffee Roaster of the Month by Commonly Coffee.
