Nova

Coffee was introduced in Rwanda in the early 20th century. At this time, coffee was produced only with a focus on volume without any concern for quality. It is only after the country began to rebuild following the genocide that efforts by the Rwandese government were put in place to stimulate the coffee industry. Today there are 315 washing stations across the country.

This coffee is sourced from 80 farmers belonging to the Dukorere Kawa Bukure women’s cooperative in Gicumbi, Northern Province. A portion of their yearly production is bought by Agnes Mukamushinja and her husband, Felix Hitayezu, who run a washing station called Nova Coffee. Their vision is to drive socio-economic welfare through the enhancement of improved coffee farming practices, and are committed to developing the neighbouring community into specialized coffee farmers that produce high-quality coffee as well as to enhance social cohesion in order to create jobs and eradicate poverty.

The resulting cup reminds us of neapolitan ice cream & star fruit.

Voici mon 2e café d'octobre distribué par Th3rdwave : Le Nova de Dispatch (Montréal). C'est un grain Bourbon au nettoyage naturel originaire des provinces du nord au Rwanda. Je me fais un V60 avec 22g de grain et 350ml d'eau. Au nez, le grain moulu possède des arômes subtiles de chocolat et de miel, mais plus prononcées de tabac sec. En bouche, des notes vanillées se manifestent dans un corps crémeux à l'acidité prononcée. On goûte des notes fruitées de raisin blanc. Nous avons un fond de chocolat au lait doux. La finale possède une forte amertume et des impressions d'écorce résineuse. C'est un café curieux pour sa simplicité de saveur qui vient se contredire avec un profil évolutif au fil du refroidissement. Il possède un ensemble de roast un peu plus foncé que mes préférences habituelles, mais ses subtilités rendent sa dégustation intéressante. Il se boit très bien et se voudrait accessible à un palais moins développé, qui saurait autant l'apprécier qu'un plus ferré. Bref, pas mauvais et même drôlement satisfaisant.
