The Deets

This coffee is from the Gitwe washing station near Nyungwe Natural Forest, which is known for its high altitude, optimal rain conditions, and rich volcanic soil. The ripest coffee cherries are hand-picked and delivered to Gitwe, rinsed, and floated to sort for quality. They're then pulped and fermented for 8-12 hours and sun-dried on raised beds for 10-15 days to 10-11% moisture. The result is a coffee with big stone fruit flavors and a sweet brown sugary finish.

REST IN PEACE

We recommend letting fresh coffee rest to allow the beans to stabilize. This will result in a sweeter, more expressive cup. We rest washed coffees 5–10 days, naturals 10–15 days, and experimentals 15–30 days.
