Organic Rwanda Kamonyi Mbizi - Roasted Coffee

This offering from Rwanda is a stellar showcase of the fine coffees from this region. The cup quality is smooth and clean, with snappy acidity and a velvety mouthfeel. Floral and tropical fruit notes are prominent, with a lightly sweet finish.

This fully washed lot is sourced from exclusively women producers supplying Mbizi washing station, a wetmill operated by Gihanga Coffee Company in Kamonyi district. Mbizi sits at around 2,200 masl making it one of Rwanda's highest altitude wetmills. Gihanga works with over 3,000 small farmers in the region. These producers cultivate bourbon trees and their farms average around 4ha in size. Mbizi washing station is located in Rukoma sector, Kamonyi district, in Rwanda's Southern Province. Like much of Rwanda - “the land of a thousand hills” - the terrain is mountainous, rugged, and exceptionally beautiful. Rich volcanic soils, plentiful sunshine, and tropical rainfall provide exceptional conditions for the cultivation of arabica, and the Bourbon variety particularly excels in the high elevations of Rwanda’s mountains.

Reviews

Bright Everyday Coffee

"I really enjoyed this coffee—it’s clean, smooth, and easy to drink. I picked up some light citrus and a bit of berry, which gave it a nice brightness without being too acidic. It’s not a heavy or bold roast, but that’s exactly why I liked it for everyday use. It worked best for me as a pour-over, where the flavors came through more clearly. Not the most complex coffee I’ve had, but definitely a solid, reliable one I’d buy again."

Lyubomir M. (5/5)

Fair alternative to Sidamo

"Been experimenting with some of FRC's other single origin alternatives to Ethiopian, and this one is not bad, though probably won't replace the former for me."

Thanh-Liem H. (4/5)

Flavorful

"I love this roast. Delightful flavor without being too light. Love the floral notes and hint of sweetness."

Andrea C. (5/5)

African coffee is the best

"African coffee is my favorite. Ethiopian is my favorite favorite, but sometimes you have to choose a NY strip, which is without fault, just to keep you obsessed with ribeyes. Light roast is where it’s at when it comes to espresso."

Very smooth and flavorful!

"I’ve been searching for something smoother and better tasting than the Breakfast Blend I’ve used for a while. This was a winner! I will definitely order a bigger bag next time."
