Rwanda- Rulinda Murambi

Available from Anchorhead Coffee when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

This one caught us off guard. East Africa is where our heart is, and we cup a lot of Rwanda, so it takes something to genuinely surprise us. This did. It ticked every box we have. We bought what we could get, which was not much, and we're glad to have it on the shelf while it lasts. It's the work of 170 smallholder farmers in Rwanda's Gatsibo District, growing between 1,600 and 1,786 meters and carrying their cherries to the Murambi washing station. Most tend just a few acres, small family plots
