Rwanda, Gicumbi Lot 10

Working with Kalisimbi Kiwieds Coffee (KKC) is always a pleasure and we are excited to work with them again on some more coffees. KKC has a vision to increase their efficiency and effectiveness by producing high quality coffee and making use of all its byproducts. Their mission is to increase their export to better the Rwandan economy and the livelihoods of the community. KKC started in 1995 and has two main farms. Gicumbi in the northern province and Gatsibo in the eastern province. The main harvest lasts from about March through June where coffee cherries are hand picked and processed by the team. Once processed and dried, they send all their coffee to the dry mill located in Kigali. Lot 10 is from Gicumbi in the northern province. These cherries are harvested from 10 year old bourbon trees and then go through an anaerobic process where the cherries are fermented for 5-7 days before being processed and dried. This coffee has wild kombucha-like sweetness with a ton of fruit punch.
