Sourced from the Nyamasheke region of Rwanda, the Urugori "Women's Crown" is a washed coffee produced by Gasharu Coffee. This specific lot is roasted by Coffee By Design to a Vienna profile, a roast level that typically emphasizes deeper, caramelized sugars and body while balancing the inherent acidity of the bean. In the cup, this selection presents a distinct profile of lime zest, cacao, and tamarind.

Washed coffees are generally celebrated for their clean, bright acidity and ability to highlight the terroir of the growing region, as the removal of the fruit pulp before drying allows for a more focused expression of the bean’s characteristics.
