What Booínga says about this coffee
A star from the hills of Gakenke
Marfak takes its name from the brightest star in the constellation of Perseus, a fitting name for one of the most striking coffees in our collection. It comes from the Muzo washing station, in the Gakenke district of northern Rwanda. The station is run by Emmanuel Rusatira, founder of Baho Coffee.
Emmanuel spent 15 years working for a coffee exporter in Rwanda before starting his own project in 2016. His goal was to build washing stations across the country and show the full diversity of Rwandan coffee. Today Baho Coffee runs 12 washing stations, each with careful control over how the cherries are handled.

How it sits among coffee from Rwanda
Booínga describe this coffee as fruity, citrus. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Rwanda; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Rwanda, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
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.
