This natural processed coffee is sourced from the Kanzu washing station in the Nyamasheke district of Rwanda, situated at an altitude of 1900 meters. The coffee is of the Bourbon variety and was dried slowly on raised beds for 40 days. It offers a jammy texture and high sweetness, with distinct flavor notes of ripe blackberry, brown sugar, and candied ginger, providing a complex and dynamic cup profile.
Boxcar Coffee Roasters was founded in 2010 by husband and wife team Vajra and Cara Rich with the goal of building a world class roasting company in their hometown of Boulder, Colorado. The team of 50 roasts on modified vintage Probat drum roasters fitted with highly customised systems and state of the art software for precision control. Boxcar purchases coffee at prices three to four times above Fair Trade levels through direct relationships with growers, and organic beans make up 30 to 45 percent of their yearly purchasing. The business runs two retail café locations with integrated bakeries in Boulder alongside a full service wholesale programme serving accounts nationwide.
