Fig, Black Plum, Kumquat

This coffee comes from farmers near Kivubelt's Jarama Coffee Washing Station in the Nyamasheke district, Western Province of Rwanda. They are known collectively as the "People's Farm”, a collaboration of hundreds of small-scale family farmers.
The first single origin release of two from Kivubelt in Rwanda comes from the Jarama washing station, and articulates the sweet yet tart profile that makes Central African coffees a standout.
We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from intelligentsia.com.
