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\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\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. This lot holds its red fruit signature while leaning into gentle tropical sweetness with a lighter roast that draws out delicate watermelon notes carried by a tender and almost weightless texture as red peach unfolds into a vivid pink guava bringing a composed yet quietly playful progression taste in the cup. It settles into a soft citrus finish reminiscent of biting into bell fruits and feels refreshing and clean while offering a balanced and light toned expression that reflects a more enjoyable and considered side of Rwanda coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003carticle data-turn=\"user\" data-scroll-anchor=\"false\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-9\" data-turn-id=\"a7a1e7a2-5c8f-41cd-b93b-470221c30a68\" 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-(--header-height)\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\" in=\"\" local=\"\" is=\"\"\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 class=\"image-with-text__media image-with-text__media--adapt gradient color-background-1 global-media-settings media\" style=\"padding-bottom: 100%;\"\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2797\/8666\/files\/Kirambo-29_1_36fcc3a2-9da6-43ef-8201-65a4d25d57b7.jpg?v=1773551024?\u0026amp;;width=1500%201500w\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1950\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1200px) 550px,\n              (min-width: 750px) calc((100vw - 130px) \/ 2), calc((100vw - 50px) \/ 2)\"\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 id=\"ImageWithText--template--16080752279706__1661190711aa8e284e\" 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\"\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\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 harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-width section-template--16080752279706__multicolumn-padding isolate\"\u003e\n\u003cul role=\"list\" class=\"multicolumn-list contains-content-container grid grid--1-col-tablet-down grid--2-col-desktop slider slider--mobile grid--peek\"\u003e\n\u003cul role=\"list\" class=\"multicolumn-list contains-content-container grid grid--1-col-tablet-down grid--2-col-desktop slider slider--mobile grid--peek\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"multicolumn-list__item grid__item slider__slide\" id=\"Slide-template--16080752279706__multicolumn-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"multicolumn-card content-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"multicolumn-card__info\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"inline-richtext\"\u003eCupping Score pts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003eFragrance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAroma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlavour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAftertaste\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcid\u003cbr\u003emedium | citrus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003emedium | smooth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBalance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"multicolumn-list__item grid__item slider__slide\" id=\"Slide-template--16080752279706__multicolumn-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"multicolumn-card content-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"multicolumn-card__info\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"inline-richtext\"\u003eRoasting Schedule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rte\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003eRoasting on every day from Monday to Thursday\u003cbr\u003eCut-off order 3:00 p.m. a day before processing begins.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 1.5rem; text-transform: none; font-weight: 300;\"\u003eWatermelon + Red Peach + Bell Fruits + Pink Guava + Coconut\u003c\/div\u003e","offers":[{"title":"Filter - 250G","offer_id":50625199243511,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Filter - 1KG","offer_id":50625199276279,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2797\/8666\/files\/06._RWANDA_GITEGA_LOT_48_-_FILTER_-_00.png?v=1774579506","url":"https:\/\/arkibkopi.my\/products\/rwanda-gitega-lot-49","provider":"Arkib Kopi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
