This single-origin coffee is from Rwanda, specifically from the Nyamasheke region along Lake Kivu at an altitude of 1,650-1,850 meters. Produced by Tuyizere Emmanuel and harvested in 2025, it features Bourbon Rojo variety processed using the honey method. The coffee has a full body with balanced acidity and honeyed sweetness, featuring tasting notes of red apple and rooibos tea, with a spiced finish and prolonged herbal aftertaste.
Carlos Mario Valderrama Rendon, a Colombian with a background in cybersecurity, formally registered Coffee Hackers in Barcelona in October 2021. The operation runs two spaces, in Sant Gervasi and Poblenou, with small batch roasting happening daily on site. Carlos sources directly from farmers with no intermediaries, roasting single origin coffees in omni profiles suited to both espresso and filter. Packaging uses kraft paper bags hand stamped with organic ink. Equipment includes La Marzocco espresso machines and Victoria Arduino and Eureka Atom grinders. Coffee Hackers also runs workshops covering espresso and latte art, filter preparations, and sensory cupping, alongside a subscription service for regular deliveries.
