The 'Land of 1000 Hills', Rwanda is blessed with ideal growing conditions for coffee: High altitude, regular rainfall and rich soil. For our second release from our partner David Rubanzangabo, it is time to share this delicious, balanced espresso.

For many seasons, this washed Bourbon has been a favourite of ours, with everything you could want from a Rwandan coffee. Expect smooth milk chocolate and hint of citrus.

THE CUP

Refreshing notes of dried fruits and chocolate. In the cooling, clear notes of orange and raisin, coupled with slight flavours of winter spices. This is a clean cup representing well the terroir of Rwanda. We recommend trying this espresso roast also on batch brew or other filter techniques. This coffee is very versatile.

ABOUT THE FARM

David is a key figure in the development of Specialty Coffee in Rwanda, having won Cup of Excellence many times by now. When he took the Huye Mountain private, he segmented the mountain range into seven zones - each with a different flavour profile. David is a true philanthropist who cares deeply about the families he works with. He offers incentives to farmers to produce high quality coffee, working with social premiums and quality incentives. We are proud to work closely with David, and this years lots are better than ever.

THE PROCESS

Huye Mountain has its own washing stations in the Huye District, where coffees are processed and quality control takes place. During the harvest, ripe cherries are handpicked and delivered to the station for sorting and grading.

After sorting, the best quality cherries are fermented naturally and dried on raised African drying tables for circa 20 days. Season after season, the quality of processing at Huye Mountain impresses, with flawless beans packed full of clean and complex flavour.

Best single origin roaster!

I'm from NZ we have one of the best coffee cultures in the world. I've been ordering from The Barn since we arrived 2 yrs ago. These guys are doing everything right from customer service to quality beans. I don't know how I would have survived without the barn. Shipping is fast we live in a tiny village in baden wurttemberg takes like 3 days.

More on the sower side and very visible taste

The coffee wasn’t really to my taste! , the product is high quality it might work for you, if you like your coffee on the acidic/super sour side and very much visible unique taste! thats not assoictaed with your common espresso!.

While I prefer my coffee on the mild side with strong kick! this one wasn’t it for me.
