A delightful blend of washed and natural bourbon variety
Did someone say strawberry pie?
In Western Rwanda, on the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo, sits the lush, mountainous district of Nyamasheke. Home to one of the oldest rainforests in Africa and Lake Kivu, a vast inland sea, Nyamasheke is beautiful and rich in biodiversity. On a ridge high above the shores of Lake Kivu, set against green hills filled with coffee, cava, sugar cane, and bananas, is the Kanzu washing station in the Karambi community.
In efforts to rebuild the agricultural industry after the devastation of civil war and genocide, Rwanda has received more coffee-focused aid than most other producing countries. The investment in washing stations has helped increase farmers' income and welfare and improve the quality and yield of exports. Kanzu is a well-run and organized example of this, employing more than 50 local people, making continued investments in infrastructure and quality control, and training farmers on best practices.
This menu offering is a blend of natural sun dried and washed lots, both comprised of the bourbon variety from the Karambi community. It's fruity and sweet like a baked strawberry pastry with notes of lemon zest and subtle vanilla. Try it on a flat bottom brewer like the Origami or Kalita dripper at a 1:16 coffee to water brew ratio. We recommend filtered water heated between 204-205° F.
