Rwanda Isoko - Espresso Roast
- Choose a store to see local availability
This coffee lot is called Isoko, meaning source in Kinyarwanda, because it represents the essence of sustenance and the origins of coffee in Rwanda's vibrant coffee farming landscape.
Gasharu coffee farms and washing station are nestled on the shores of Lake Kivu, just a stone's throw away from Rwanda Nyungwe National Park.
The region's elevated terrain, rich soil and favourable climate create an ideal environment for coffee tress to flourish.
The cherries for this lot are carefully collected at high altitude, and undergo a thorough sorting and floating process at the washing station. The beans are then dried on raised wooden beds for 4 - 6 weeks before being well stored, hulled and sorted by skilled women farmers.
