Coffee Of The Month - Rwamatamu

What’s brewing this month?

This September we're stoked to have a coffee from one of our favourite coffee producing countries, Rwanda.

This medium roast has great fruit flavour to it, boasting Rhubarb, Mandarin, and Cane Sugar tasting notes. It really is as smooth as they come!

More about the coffee:

Rwamatamu Coffee is a brilliant family-owned and run business. Founded in 2015, they set out with a goal of reducing poverty by creating local job opportunities.

The estate has 20 hectares of coffee farmland, where they grow their own crop as well as purchase cherries from affiliate co-operatives, local producer families, and smallholder farmers.

Through these strong relationships, Rwamatamu brings a positive social and economic impact to the Western Province. They also take care to invest in the growth of employees, 80% of whom are women.

The Farm sits atop rich volcanic soil, at 1600 to 2000 meters above sea level, within the Western province of Rwanda. The estate is located near Lake Kivu, in a region that provides a tropical highland climate with an average temperature of 14 to 24 degrees, along with regular rainfall.

These conditions make the Arabica trees flourish, producing a dense, hard bean that is characterized by its gentle fruitiness and overall sweetness. A smooth cup for everyone.
