The best Rwandan coffees in our catalog

Rwandan coffee is defined by its consistency and clarity. We currently have 20 lots in stock, and the vast majority are washed Bourbons. This traditional processing method highlights the bright acidity and floral notes that make the region famous. While most of our selection comes from the Western Province and Nyamasheke, you will also find lots from Huye and Gakenke. Roasters like Land of a Thousand Hills, George Howell, and The Barn lead our current inventory. We have a few natural and anaerobic options for those who prefer more body, but the washed lots remain the standard here. Whether you are looking for a clean daily drinker or a specific micro-lot, these coffees represent the current state of Rwandan production.

What to taste for:Look for a clean, tea-like body paired with bright citrus acidity and a lingering, sweet floral finish.
