This single-origin coffee is sourced from smallholder farmers in the Gihombo Sector of Rwanda's Nyamasheke District. Grown at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,600 meters near Lake Kivu, the coffee consists of local Bourbon varieties. It is processed using a fully washed method. The cup profile is balanced, featuring bright citrus notes of lemon, complemented by date, sarsaparilla, and a steady chocolate finish. This light roast coffee benefits from the region's volcanic soils and cool temperatures, which contribute to its layered structure.
Webe Coffee opened in Phoenix in early 2023, founded by TJ Sutton after a ten month buildout of the original location. The roastery operates a 20 kilogram production roaster alongside an Ikawa Pro sample roaster, sourcing specialty grade beans from origins including Colombia and Ethiopia. Sustainability is woven into the daily operation, from compostable packaging to donating used coffee grounds to local composters. It is a young roastery building its identity around intention and care at every step of the process.
