Fruity and sweet with notes of red grape, cooked peach & dark chocolate.
We return to the Cyato washing station year after year and for good reason. The smallholder farmers supplying this coffee continue to produce exceptional lots, shaped by fertile soils and the cool, lake-influenced climate near Lake Kivu. They farm without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides, supporting local biodiversity — with honey bees playing a vital role in pollinating the coffee trees.
In the cup, expect vibrant fruit sweetness balanced by a subtle, wine-like acidity. Elegant, expressive, and endlessly drinkable. Enjoy!
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.
