This coffee is from the Huye District in Rwanda's Southern Province, produced by the Abahuzamugambi Ba Kawa (Maraba Cooperative). It is a washed coffee grown at an elevation of 1,700–2,000 meters above sea level. The beans are of the Bourbon variety and are roasted to a light roast level. The flavor profile features prominent notes of mandarin orange and jasmine with a black tea finish.
Achilles Coffee Roasters was founded in 2015 by Chad Bell in San Diego, California, named after his son. What started as a modest outdoor coffee cart in the Gaslamp Quarter grew within a year into a leased space in Cortez Hill, and the business now operates five café locations across San Diego County. All coffee is roasted in small batches locally, using beans that carry Organic, Fair Trade, and Rainforest Alliance certifications alongside direct trade relationships where possible. The roastery maintains 12 rotating single origin selections sourced from around the globe, with an emphasis on precision brewing methods including weighed espresso shots.
