We are more than happy to bring Rwanda back into the Arkib lineup. Through our good friend Nas at Falcon Coffee we explored a wide selection at the cupping table and this year two natural coffee lots stood out with quiet confidence. Both were selected from Gatare and Gitega washing stations and processed by Rwanda Trading Company whose work continues to set a high benchmark for quality in the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur second return to Gitega arrives with quiet confidence and has never faltered in its clarity as Rwanda’s natural process reveals a softer and more expressive spectrum beyond its familiar brightness. At a more developed roast Gitega shows a different set of flavours where espresso pulls deepen into sweet cola and molasses while still holding a gentle pink guava acidity that lifts into a bright lime finish. With milk it transforms into something indulgent reminiscent of biting into kouign aman with sweet custard as the sweetness rounds into milk chocolate before settling into a soft cacao powder finish making it a deeply satisfying cup and a beautiful expression of Rwanda natural coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-(--header-height)\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"a7a1e7a2-5c8f-41cd-b93b-470221c30a68\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-9\" data-scroll-anchor=\"false\" data-turn=\"user\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan is=\"\" local=\"\" in=\"\" class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text image-with-text--no-overlap full-width isolate collapse-corners section-template--16080752279706__1661190711aa8e284e-padding\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__grid grid grid--gapless grid--1-col grid--2-col-tablet\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__media-item image-with-text__media-item--medium image-with-text__media-item--top grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-bottom: 100%;\" class=\"image-with-text__media image-with-text__media--adapt gradient color-background-1 global-media-settings media\"\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cimg sizes=\"(min-width: 1200px) 550px,\n              (min-width: 750px) calc((100vw - 130px) \/ 2), calc((100vw - 50px) \/ 2)\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"1950\" width=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2797\/8666\/files\/Gishyita-01_1.jpg?v=1773551222?\u0026amp;;width=1500%201500w\"\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__text-item grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__content image-with-text__content--top image-with-text__content--desktop-left image-with-text__content--mobile-left image-with-text__content--adapt gradient color-background-1 content-container\" id=\"ImageWithText--template--16080752279706__1661190711aa8e284e\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"image-with-text__heading inline-richtext h2\"\u003eThe Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__text rte body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative basis-auto flex-col -mb-(--composer-overlap-px) pb-(--composer-overlap-px) [--composer-overlap-px:28px] grow flex\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-turn=\"assistant\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-4\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:6962d420-227b-4ada-b14d-98f5e9eb3b52-1\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-turn-start-message=\"true\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-3\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-id=\"0699ce69-ebf5-4d1d-8db5-506cf00aac73\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"552\"\u003eGitega is a specialty coffee shaped by a network of smallholder farmers in Nyamasheke District, Western Rwanda, and meticulously processed at the Gitega Washing Station under the stewardship of Rwanda Trading Company (RTC). Nestled within Rwanda’s western highlands, the region benefits from a distinctive microclimate—cool temperatures, consistent rainfall, and nutrient-rich soils influenced by the nearby Lake Kivu. These natural conditions allow coffee cherries to mature slowly, developing the clarity and balance that define Rwanda’s finest cups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"554\" data-end=\"1076\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eProduction in Gitega is deeply rooted in small-scale farming, with growers tending modest plots across steep, elevated terrain. RTC engages this community through ongoing agronomic training, quality-based incentives, and a structured cherry collection system that prioritises careful harvesting and prompt delivery. This close collaboration not only elevates cup quality and consistency, but also ensures a level of traceability at the washing-station level while sustaining and empowering the farmers behind each
