Rwanda Gitesi

About This Coffee

This is a washed coffee from the private Gitesi Washing Station in Rwanda's Western Province. The coffee is produced by Alexis and Aimé Gahizi, who began operations in 2006 after building the station in 2005. The variety is Red Bourbon, grown at elevations ranging from 1,700 to 1,900 meters above sea level in the volcanic-influenced soils of Western Province. The coffee undergoes washed processing including dry fermentation for 10-12 hours, washing, density grading, and 16-hour soaking, followed by 15 days of drying on African beds. The cup profile is clean and juicy with notes of dried figs, fruit tea, candied lemon, rosehip, and honey, featuring elegant acidity and a tea-like structure.

The Miners Coffee

The Miners was founded in 2019 by Egor Kolpakov and Oldřich Valta in Prague, opening its first location on Slavíkova street before launching its own roasting operation in 2020. The roastery is now housed at DOCK, a modern facility in Prague 8 that doubles as an open concept space where visitors can observe production and join cupping sessions with professional baristas. Coffee is sourced directly from farmers with an emphasis on traceability and fair compensation at origin, then roasted in house to highlight each lot's character. Since its founding, the company has expanded to several locations across the Czech Republic, Spain, Poland, Slovakia, Austria, and the Netherlands. The Miners won Best Design at the BCN Coffee Awards 2023 in Barcelona and has been featured in Forbes and the World Coffee Portal.
