This coffee is a single-origin Red Bourbon variety from the Nyamasheke district in Rwanda, grown at an altitude of 1750 meters. Processed at the Ngoma Station using a washed method, the cherries undergo an 8-hour in-cherry fermentation followed by a 12-hour wet fermentation before being dried for 26 days. This light roast offers a clean and expressive flavor profile characterized by notes of Bartlett pear, citrus verbena, and a bright, refreshing grapefruit finish.
Founded in 2020 at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic, Moonwake Coffee Roasters emerged from the passion of two former tech engineers, Ming Wood from Tesla and Mabel Yeung from Meta. What began as Ming's personal coffee project within Tesla's internal coffee club evolved into a full roastery operation after both founders chose to leave their tech careers to pursue coffee full time between 2023 and 2024. Moonwake represents a growing movement of technologists who discovered that coffee roasting offers greater fulfillment than their previous careers, channeling engineering precision into specialty coffee.
