Rwanda — Abakundakawa Cooperative

There is a quiet elegance to this coffee — delicate, expressive, and beautifully refined.

Sourced from the rolling hills of Nyamasheke in Western Rwanda, this lot is the result of thousands of smallholder farmers working together through the Abakundakawa Cooperative. Their shared commitment to quality and precision is reflected in a cup that feels vibrant, clean, and effortlessly balanced.

Air-roasted at our solar-powered roastery, this coffee is developed lightly to preserve its natural clarity and aromatic lift — allowing its most delicate characteristics to shine.
