About this coffee

Origin : Rwanda Region : Huye District Farm : Huye Mountain, David Rubanzangabo Variety : Red Bourbon Processing : Natural Altitude : 1770 m a.s.l. Cupping score: 87 / 100 ABOUT THE COFFEE Our naturally processed lots from Huye Mountain are a delicious showcase of terroir and process. Expect blueberry, strawberry, and juicy cherry up front. Brown sugar and vanilla offer sweet base notes, with a long finish bringing hints of dark chocolate. Juicy and expressive served black, as a flat white, this is like a strawberry milkshake. ABOUT THE FARM David is a key figure in the development of Specialty Coffee in Rwanda, having won Cup of Excellence many times by now. When he took the Huye Mountain private, he segmented the mountain range into seven zones - each with a different flavour profile. David is a true philanthropist who cares deeply about the families he works with. He offers incentives to farmers to produce high quality coffee, working with social premiums and quality incentives. We are proud to work closely with David, and this years lots are better than ever. ABOUT THE PROCESS Huye Mountain has its own sorting stations and laboratory in the Huye District, where coffees are processed and quality control takes place. During the harvest, ripe cherries are handpicked and delivered to the station for sorting, grading, and drying. After sorting by hand and then floatation, the best quality cherries are transferred to raised African drying tables for 3 to 4 weeks. Season after season, the quality of processing at Huye Mountain impresses, with flawless green beans packed full of clean and complex flavour. ROASTER'S OPINION Our Spring Coffee Is Here We have been working with Huye Mountain for over ten years. This season, we have chosen our naturally processed lot as our new Spring Coffee. A sweet, juicy cup roasted to suit filter or espresso. Store in a cold and dry space.
