This is a triple washed coffee from Akanduga, Rwanda produced by cooperative members of the Dukunde Kawa organization at the Mbilima washing station. It is certified Organic and Fairtrade.
The flavor profile is sweet and silky, with distinctly citrusy orange-zest acidity, caramelly sweetness, and notes of plum, hibiscus, rosemary, and red wine.
The Mbilima washing station, established by Dukunde Kawa cooperative in 2005, sits at a dizzying 2020 meters above sea level, making it one of Rwandas – and by extension, the world’s — highest elevation coffee cherry receiving and processing hubs. It also happens to be the locus of the cooperative’s only certified organic coffee.
