This Red Bourbon microlot comes from Gitwe, Rwanda, tucked into lush hills near the ancient Nyungwe Natural Forest, one of Africa's oldest rain forests and a source of both the Nile and Congo river systems.

Grown at around 6000 feet and shaped by the steady forest rainfall, volcanic soils near Lake Kivu, and the cool mountain air, this microlot coffee represents a small and carefully selected harvest. 

At Gitwe, the coffee cherries are pulped immediately, fermented for 8-12 hours, and then sun-dried on raised beds for 10-15 days.

This anaerobic natural process unfolds the depth and complexity of this coffee, bringing out notes of a sweet boysenberry covered in a velvety chocolate richness.
