A naturally processed Swiss Water decaffeinated coffee from Burundi's Kirundo region, produced by the Tugwizikawa Cooperative at 1700 meters elevation. Red Bourbon variety with tasting notes of milk chocolate, fig newton, and red date. Medium roast with a sweet, chocolatey base and honeyed, slightly spiced character that shifts to jammy dried fruit notes as it cools.
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.
