Rwanda FW15+ Muhondo
About This Coffee
The Region
Gakenke district lies in North West Rwanda near the Volcanoes National Park, home to 1 of only 3 populations of endangered mountain gorillas in the world. Like much of Rwanda - “the land of a thousand hills” - the terrain is mountainous, rugged and exceptionally beautiful. Rich volcanic soils, plentiful sunshine, and tropical rainfall provide exceptional conditions for the cultivation of arabica, and the Bourbon variety particularly excels in the high elevations of Rwanda’s mountains.
The Process
Ripe cherries are carefully selected, first by hand and then by floatation in clean water tanks. The cherries are then de-pulped and fermented in water for an average of 18 hours. After fermentation the coffee is washed in clean water grading channels which also serve to further sort the coffee by density (the denser beans being of the highest quality selected for this microlot).
The coffee still in its husk (parchment) is then dried in the sun on raised African beds for 21-30 days depending on climatic conditions.
