Rwamatamu Natural

Rutaganda Gaston prides himself on his close relationships with the local community: bright, balanced & soft cream.

The Rwamatamu Natural, sourced from producer Rutaganda Gaston in Rwanda, represents a distinct expression of the region’s coffee production. As a natural-processed coffee, this lot undergoes a drying phase where the cherry remains intact around the bean, a technique that often influences the final cup profile by imparting unique sweetness and body. You can learn more about the nuances of these processing methods to better understand how this approach shapes the final result.

Roasted by Obadiah Coffee, this selection is characterized by a bright and balanced profile with a soft cream finish. When evaluating such coffees, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to identify the specific descriptors that emerge during the brewing process. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward heavier fruit notes, this particular offering emphasizes a refined, creamy texture that highlights the careful cultivation practices employed by Rutaganda Gaston in the Rwandan landscape.
