What the roaster says about where it came from

Country

Rwanda

Region

Kivu

Variety

Red Bourbon, Heirloom

Altitude

520 m

Not stated

farm or estate, producer, process, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Altitude, lowest

“The coffee trees thrive at a soaring 1,520 MASL in nitrogen-rich volcanic soil, heavily benefiting from a cool, stable lakeside microclimate that forces the cherries to ripen slowly.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Species

“This specific lot is composed entirely of 100% Red Bourbon, an ancient heirloom Arabica variety famous for its signature structural complexity, creamy body, and intense natural sweetness.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

Flavour families

It bursts with bright, sun-ripened peach and juicy mandarin orange, grounded by a rich, sweet finish of roasted marzipan and laced with delicate, floral and citrusy aromas… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Introducing Rwanda Rugamba, a stunning specialty coffee that beautifully showcases the exceptional potential of the Rutsiro district.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

“Perched on the steep, sweeping hills of Rwanda's Western Province, the Rugamba wet mill sits right on the edge of Lake Kivu—one of Africa's highest and largest volcanic lakes.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
