About Bourbon Variety

Bourbon coffee (French: Café Bourbon) is coffee produced from Arabica coffee trees of the Bourbon cultivar. Bourbon coffee was originally cultivated on Réunion, which was called Bourbon Island (Île Bourbon) before 1789. It was later occupied by France to connect with the African continent and Latin America, and is now one of the two most popular Arabica coffee production regions in the world. Bourbon coffee is typically grown at altitudes between 3500 to 6500 feet (1062-1972 meters).

Rwanda Coffee Processing

Like many African countries, Rwanda's coffee is primarily produced by small farmers. During the annual harvest, ripe coffee cherries are collected and sent to processing stations. Farmers harvest ripe coffee berries and bring them to processing stations. 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 a cool, low-temperature environment. 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 of the green beans stabilizes below 14%.

Brewing Recommendation

Hand-pour Rwanda: 15g of coffee, medium-fine grind (Fuji Royal grinder #3.5), V60 dripper, water temperature 90-92°C. First pour with 30g water, bloom for 27 seconds. Pour to 105g and stop, wait until the water level drops to half, then slowly pour until reaching 225g total. Avoid the tail end. Water-to-coffee ratio 1:15, extraction time 2:00.

About This Particular Batch

We have previously introduced several specialty coffees from Rwanda's Nyamasheke region. This carefully selected Mushonyi comes from the Rutsiro region, located north of Nyamasheke, also situated along Lake Kivu. The high altitude, fertile volcanic soil, and excellent climate create high-quality coffee. We will continue to deeply explore Rwanda's gem-like coffee regions. This batch is a direct trade batch purchased from the processing station - the freshest batch from the 2015 harvest season (approximately June to September)!!

Variety: BM-139 (Bourbon)

Processing Station: Mushonyi Washing Station

Farm Owners: 1756 smallholder member farmers (each small farmer cultivates approximately 253 trees)

Rwanda's Rising Coffee Quality

Rwanda can be said to be East Africa's most rapidly developing specialty coffee-producing country in recent times. Beyond the fresh memory of its tragic genocide story, the quality of its specialty coffee has improved very rapidly. This year, we have cupped several Rwanda coffees with fresh, clean textures and very elegant, refined acidity.

Flavor Notes for This Batch

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