Funky and fruity with notes of lemon curd, winey fruit & hibiscus.
This is our third year buying coffee from the Cyato washing station and we're delighted to have found this exceptional micro-lot. It's packed full of sugary sweetness and juicy acidity, with lots of tropical fruit flavours and a touch of hibiscus on the finish. The smallholder farmers who produced these beans use no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, helping to preserve the integrity of soils and wildlife in this area of western Rwanda.
The farmers pick and deliver their ripe red coffee cherries to the Cyato washing station, where they are then sorted and dried on raised beds. During the drying period, the coffee is actively rotated and moved in order to ensure even drying and controlled flavour development.
