Rwanda Coffee, Kigeyo Bourbon
Our Rwanda Coffee is microlot from Kigeyo Nyagahinika.
This fully washed coffee from the Kigeyo Washing Station and COOPAC Cooperative has a smooth and balanced profile with spice notes along with a strong acidic fruity mouthfeel. This Rwandan Coffee is a winter favorite on espresso!
