We love our washed East African coffees! But this is the first time we’ve ever sourced a natural lot from Rwanda.

This lot came from female producers forming part of the Nyampinga Women’s Cooperative, which began operation in 2013. Over the past decade, the co-op has provided benefits and services to its members that include trainings as well as market access.

Besides growing its own cherries, the cooperative also operates its own washing station, which is available to both co-op members and armers from the surrounding areas.

Unlike a typical washed process Rwanda, this natural lot gives a more rounded profile, with jammy red fruit impressions that make it a nice daily drinker.
