The award record of Mushonyi Processing Station is truly impressive. Besides winning the Cup of Excellence championship in 2010, in 2011 alone, they secured championship, 12th place, 16th place, and 28th place with four different lots!!!

Rwanda can be described as a rapidly developing specialty coffee producing country in East Africa. In addition to the fresh memories of its tragic genocide story, the quality of its specialty coffee has also improved remarkably quickly. This year, we have cupped several Rwandan coffees with refreshing textures and very elegant, beautiful acidity.

Like many African countries, Rwandan coffee is primarily produced by small-scale farmers. During each harvest season, farmers gather ripe coffee cherries and send them to processing stations. Farmers pick ripe coffee cherries and concentrate them at processing stations for handling. First, manual selection ensures no unripe or damaged fruits are mixed in. Next, the pulp is removed, followed by a 12-18 hour washed fermentation process in cool, low-temperature environments. Then, the adhering mucilage is thoroughly cleaned in channels. During the drying process on raised beds, station members manually turn the beans with careful attention, ensuring that under sufficient sun exposure, the parchment beans do not lose moisture or experience uneven drying until the moisture content stabilizes below 14%.

We have also introduced several specialty coffees from the Nyamasheke region of Rwanda before. This carefully selected Mushonyi comes from the Rutsiro region, located north of Nyamasheke and similarly situated along Lake Kivu. High altitude, fertile volcanic soil, and excellent climate create superior coffee quality. We will continue to deeply explore this gem of a producing region in Rwanda. This lot is a direct trade lot purchased from the processing station—the freshest lot from the 2015 harvest season (approximately June to September)!!

Flavor Brief for This Lot:

Red apple, cherry, cinnamon and honey, excellent sweetness and balance, with cinnamon, almond, and chocolate aftertaste.
