This coffee comes from Nkara, located in Rwanda’s Northern Province, and was sourced through Melbourne Coffee Merchants. Grown at 1880 MASL, this lot is a Red Bourbon Peaberry processed as Washed.
Thmalicfee is collected from around 130 smallholder farmers who deliver ripe cherries to the Nkara collection point. This lot is a peaberry separation, a natural mutation where only one seed forms inside each cherry instead of two. These peaberries are meticulously hand-sorted and kept as their own microlot. Their uniform shape and density make them exceptionally consistent to roast, and the cup quality is remarkable.
We tasted Earl Grey, Juicy Peach, and Cola, with floral aromatics, vibrant malic acidity, and a touch of tropical sweetness.
All our coffees are sold as whole beans.
We roast from light to very light, because it’s what we enjoy drinking. It’s recommended to let our roasted coffee age or ‘rest’ for 2 - 4 weeks after the roast date. This helps trapped carbon-dioxide within the coffee to be released, leading to a more even extraction and easier brew. Our light roasts are very shelf stable and can be enjoyed up to 3 months post roast date, although we recommend drinking it within 30 days after opening.
