Mbilima, Rwanda

This organic lot was produced by the Dukunde Kawa Cooperative. It was grown by small-scale farmer-members, who delivered their cherries to the co-op’s Mbilima washing station. The coffee was then wash processed by the Mbilima team under the guidance of long-time manager Jean Bosco Habimana. 

This microlot is made up of peaberry beans. While a coffee cherry usually develops with two flat-sided seeds inside, it will occasionally produce a single round seed, known as a peaberry. As is typical of Rwandan peaberry lots, these are small beans with a big flavour! In the cup, Mbilima has a sparkling acidity and it’s bursting with vibrant fruit and floral notes.
