RWANDA KIRAMBO LOT 319

It took us another 4 years to get Rwanda back into our selection. This year, we work together with Falcon on a sustainable trade programme featuring sourced coffee that has a positive contribution towards local society. Our latest coffee offering comes from a Kirambo washing station owned and run by Rwanda Trading Company (RTC).

Coffee has been the center of life in African countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, etc. For Rwanda, it is uncommon to see natural processes due to the nature of trading. Most of the coffee is processed and exported as a fully washed process since it is a much safer way to trade commercial coffee.

This is a good example of how a company like Rwanda Trading Company changed the course of the Rwanda coffee industry. This coffee is a natural process lot produced by the Kirambo washing station. The meticulous processing and strict quality control by RTC make this lot such an outstanding natural coffee that captures the whole potential of Rwandan coffee.

The natural process unlocked the hidden quality of Rwandan coffee. With a slow roast and shorter development time, Kirambo carries a remarkable refreshing citrus acidity like rose apple with poached pear sweetness. The fruitiness develops into a sweet tart flavour like golden kiwi and a red fruit sensation. It is a light-textured coffee that gives the impression of drinking fruit tea.
