Rwanda Ruli

from £13.70

varietal ‍ ‍ red bourbon

process ‍ ‍ natural

taste notes ‍ ‍ blackcurrant, liquorice

“The Musasa Dukunde Kawa cooperative has four washing stations lying high in Rwanda’s rugged northwest. Ruli–the cooperative’s first washing station-was built by the co-op in 2003. At 1,999 metres above sea level, it is one of Rwanda’s highest washing stations.

The level of care that Musasa Dukunde Kawa Ruli takes over the processing is impressive. Most of the smallholder producers works own less than a quarter of a hectare of land, where they cultivate an average of only 250-300 coffee trees alongside other food crops. Cherries are hand-picked only when fully ripe, delivered to the wet mill via the cooperatives fleet of bikes, and sorted. The cherries are then dispersed on raised beds for 45 days to dry in the open sun. After reaching 11% humidity, the coffee is then stored in parchment in Ruli’s purpose-built warehouse prior to final dry-milling and hand-sorting.”
