Rwanda Vunga Washed | Espresso Single Origin
Description
Bright & Juicy
High in Rwanda’s lush Northern Highlands, Vunga produces coffees with a beautiful sense of clarity and lift. This washed lot is all sparkle and structure, with vivid fruit, fine florals, and a silky sweetness that feels effortlessly refined. It’s lively without being loud, and elegant from first sip to finish.
Flavour & Notes
Expect a crisp, citrus-led opening, think mandarin and pink grapefruit, carried by a honeyed sweetness. The mid-palate brings red apple and ripe apricot juiciness, with a gentle black tea softness adding poise. As an espresso, it lands clean and bright, finishing with a smooth, lingering sweetness and a faint floral whisper.
Origin Story
This coffee comes from smallholder farmers delivering ripe Bourbon cherries to the Vunga washing station in Rwanda’s Northern Province. Grown at high elevations in volcanic, mineral-rich soils, the cherries are carefully sorted, pulped, and slowly fermented before being washed and dried on raised beds. The result is a coffee that captures Rwanda’s hallmark precision, fresh, transparent, and beautifully balanced.
