Rwanda Kivu Gitesi

Cupping Notes: Citrus Orange & Lemon, chocolate, butterscotch, caramel, clove

This outstanding Rwandan coffee is from a region near our past Rwanda Kivu Kibuye and has been grown and processed using some of the same standards.

This lot comes from an area in Rwanda called Gitesi, which is in the Kibuye Valley on the eastern coast of Lake Kivu. It was grown at around 6500'. Lake Kivu is one of the African Great Lakes.

NPR wrote a story on the farmers that created this coffee near Lake Kivu and the transformation that they've gone through to become producers of some of the world's best coffee.

Roasting and Shipping Schedule

This coffee is roasted and shipped every Monday. We ship all coffees via 2-Day shipping so that it will arrive to you as the coffee is entering the peak of it's flavor profile. Most coffees taste somewhat flat for the first 24 - 48 hours after the roast. During this phase, our coffee is in transit to you. By the time you receive it, it should be entering the peak consumption time that will last around 10 - 14 days.
