About This Coffee

Rwanda has emerged as a producer of high-quality specialty coffee, particularly known for its bright, clean, and complex washed lots. Dukundekawa Musasa is a well-regarded cooperative known for meticulous processing. Grown in the high-altitude volcanic soils of the Gakenke district, this coffee typically presents vibrant red fruit notes like red currant or cherry, complemented by delicate floral aromas such as orange blossom. A sweet caramel or brown sugar backbone balances the acidity, and subtle hints of baking spice (like ginger) add complexity. The washed processing contributes to a clean cup with a pleasingly silky mouthfeel.

Coffee Varieties

This specific variant is known for a bright, crisp acidity that can be reminiscent of red fruits. It remains a parent to many successful cultivars and a benchmark for high-quality coffee production worldwide.
