Anastase Minani, Washed - Rwanda

This lot is a rare single-producer expression in a country where most coffees are blended across hundreds of small farms. Minani’s 1.3-hectare plot, with around 3,000 trees, allows for something more defined, a coffee that speaks clearly of one person, one place.

A founding member of the Dukunde Kawa Cooperative, Anastase has spent over 50 years in coffee, not just as a farmer, but as a leader. From training neighbouring producers to helping establish Rwanda’s early cooperative movement, his work has quietly shaped the region.

In the cup, expect a light and floral profile, with notes of plum and English breakfast tea. It is elegant, structured, and quietly expressive.
