Black Currant Jam, Lime Peel,
$21
This marks our second release of the year from Kivubelt Coffee, which is owned and operated by our Direct Trade partner Furaha Umwizeye. Located in the Nyamasheke district of western Rwanda, this coffee comes from a group of smallholder farmers, collectively known as People’s Farm.
Our second offering from Rwanda comes from the Murundo washing station, and is a coffee with intense jammy sweetness balanced by citrus peel.
We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com.
