From the roaster

Kumbya Farm sits in the mountains northeast of Lake Kivu, where the altitude, fertile soil, and cooler temperatures do the heavy lifting — no additional inputs needed for pest control or fertilization. Native honeybees handle pollination, and the lake's proximity creates a microclimate that produces coffees distinctly marked by dried and fresh berries, tropical fruit, and a complex, layered sweetness.

In the cup: ripe blackberry leads with juicy depth, kiwi brightens as it cools with a crisp, refreshing lift, and wildflower honey brings a silky, floral sweetness to the finish. A natural processed coffee built for anyone who loves vibrant fruit and a graceful, sweet finish.

Context

Cat & Cloud Coffee's Rwanda Kumbya showcases the expressive potential of natural processing, which tends to amplify fruit-forward character and body. This lot from Kumbya Farm delivers a compelling profile anchored by ripe blackberry and dried berries, complemented by brighter notes of kiwi and tropical fruit, with a delicate wildflower honey sweetness threading through. The combination suggests the complexity natural-processed coffees often develop, where extended contact between bean and fruit during drying can yield layered fruit flavors and enhanced sweetness.
