About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee from Rwanda is produced at the Coko factory washing station in the Gakenke District, located in northwestern Rwanda near Volcanoes National Park. The coffee is grown at altitudes between 1,600 and 2,200 meters above sea level in rich volcanic soils. The Bourbon variety is used exclusively. This lot is Fair Trade and Organic certified, with producers using organic fertilizers such as manure and coffee pulp mulch. The coffee is sourced 100% from women farmers. The washed processing involves careful cherry selection by hand and flotation, followed by depulping and 12-18 hours of dry fermentation. After washing, beans are sun-dried on raised African beds for 14-21 days. Flavor profile includes caramelized apple, red fruits, citrus, and milk chocolate.
