ORIGIN

Farm: Venuste Mugiraneza Region: North, Rulindo Process: Washed Variety: Red Bourbon Elevation: 1776 masl

Sourced from the Rulindo region in the north of Rwanda, this Tumba coffee is produced by Venuste Mugiraneza. The lot consists of the Red Bourbon varietal, a plant known for its balanced profile and historical significance in coffee cultivation. Following harvest, the cherries undergo a washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean.

Roasted by Press Coffee Roasters, this selection is characterized by bright, citrus-forward notes of pineapple and grapefruit, complemented by delicate floral undertones of jasmine. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, vibrant profiles, the specific expression of these flavors can be further explored by referencing the flavor wheel. Grown at an elevation of 1776 masl, this offering provides a focused look at the terroir of Rwanda’s northern highlands, showcasing the meticulous work of the producer in maintaining the integrity of the Bourbon varietal.
