My Cherry Amour

The Western Province is one of Rwanda’s five provinces created in the early 2000’s after a restructuring of governmental structures. It is know for its mountainous terrains and hosts one of the great African lakes, Lake Kivu.

This coffee is sourced from the Akagera Washing Station & 5 smallholder farmers (Afrodis Gahonzire, Azitha Urwijumukondo, Athanase Fatisuka, Gratien Nkejuwimy, and Froduard Rusingizandekwe) in the town of Cyeshero Hill, Western Province. The washing station is located in between the beautiful Lake Kivu and Nyungwe National Forest. It is a small operation, with only 460 farmers delivering cherry for a total of ~380 bags of exportable green coffee each year. This allows for the managers to focus exclusively on quality, whereas some stations have to manage commercial grades as well as specialty.

The resulting cup reminds us of strawberry, cream & caramel.

Les notes de fraises sont originales, mais sont trop en avant-plan pour moi. Je préfère un café un peu plus intense, un peu plus axé vers les notes de chocolat, dont les notes de fruits sont plus en arrière-plan, avec un plus de corps. Celui-ci était un peu doux à mon goût. Je l'ai quand même aimé.
