Beyond India / Africa & Arabia

Rwanda coffee

1500–2000 m · picked March to July · Arabica

A thousand hills of Bourbon trees, most planted by the colonial administration and now farmed by families with a few hundred trees each. The washing stations built since the early 2000s turned a low-grade export into one of Africa's cleanest specialty origins.

Grown in
Lake Kivu, Huye, Nyamasheke, Gakenke
Varieties
Red Bourbon almost entirely
Processing
Washed at cooperative washing stations, some naturals

In the cup: Red apple, orange, black tea and a syrupy sweetness. Lighter and softer than Kenya.

Next to Indian coffee: Close to a good Coorg washed in body, with more fruit and a cleaner finish. A gentle way into African coffee if Kenya is too sharp.
