Sometimes we receive coffee samples from anaerobic fermentation that scare us with a tiring acidity that covers everything else. This is not the case. Here we have a beautifully balanced coffee, in which the fermentation notes take the form of a good whiskey, perfectly enveloping the blackberries and blueberries in the foreground.

ABOUT THE FARM

Mahembe is a company owned by Justin Musabyimana. It consists of three farms and two washing stations. Justin Musabyimana uses his own coffee cherries but also buys them from farmers neighboring his farms. The coffee you are drinking comes from the 13-hectare Murundo farm and its surroundings, which are located in the immediate vicinity of the Nyungwe Forest National Park. The coffee cherries were processed at the Nyarubuye washing station.

The Nyungwe Forest is located in southwestern Rwanda. It borders Burundi to the south and Lake Kivu and the DR Congo to the west. Nyungwe is considered the best-preserved mountain rainforest in Africa. It is located on the watershed between the Congo and Nile basins.

ROASTER'S OPINION

This coffee is jammy in the best sense. Wild berries, light citrus acidity. On top of that, notes of stronger spirits and a touch of cocoa. We fell in love and drink it all the time.

Store in a cool, dry place.
