Rwanda Vunga Cooperative
Blackberry, raisin and baking spice from Red Bourbon grown at 1,650 to 2,000 meters in Nyabihu. Washed and roasted medium, so the fruit should sit alongside some warmth rather than shout. A good pick if you want a darker-fruit single origin without going light roast.
Pick it if you like a darker roast; blackberry, raisin and baking spice sound good to you.
Best for Medium-roast drinkers curious about Rwandan coffee
See Rwanda Vunga Cooperative →Rwanda Hingakawa
Lime, apple and dried apricot from Rushashi in Rwanda, grown at 1,700 to 2,000 meters. Washed Bourbon at a medium-light roast, so the fruit should stay front and centre. Short on brewing details, but the notes say bright and clean.
Pick it if you like a lighter roast; lime, apple and dried apricot sound good to you.
Best for Drinkers who like crisp, fruity single origins
