This coffee is a single origin Rwanda from the Northern Province, specifically the Rebero Lot. It is sourced from 633 farmers delivering to the Kinini washing station, with cherries harvested from trees grown on north-facing slopes at altitudes of 1973 meters and above. The coffee is a Bourbon Mayaguez 139 variety, processed by washing - the cherry is fermented, pulped and soaked before drying.
