Vibrant flavours of Rwanda in this naturally processed, anaerobic coffee, offering juicy notes of mango, orange, and chocolate.
The cherries are carefully fermented in an oxygen-free environment for 72 hours, enhancing the fruit-forward complexity. They are then slowly sun-dried for 30–40 days on raised African beds, where they’re hand-sorted to remove defects and turned regularly to ensure even drying. This process preserves the coffee’s clarity and sweetness, while protecting it from over-fermentation or mould—resulting in a clean, tropical cup with a silky finish.
