Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Shyira washing station in Rwanda's Nyamasheke region, cultivated at 1800-2300 meters altitude. It is a washed Red Bourbon varietal produced by Muraho. The coffee is known for its bright acidity, floral aromas, and complex fruity profile with notes of berries, apple, and citrus. Often compared to Kenyan coffees, it features a creamy body with sweet citric acidity and caramel-like floral notes in the finish. Managed by Evariste Hagumimana, this station is recognized as the highest coffee washing station in Rwanda.
