An amazing and very aromatic coffee that delivers fruity notes of tomato, pineapple, rhubarb, and chocolate. Best enjoyed using a gentle method to get the most out of it.

The Cooperative "Coffee Rusiga Sector" (KCRS) is composed exclusively of women who operate small plots of land at around 2000 meters above sea level and where coffee plants grow with vegetables, beans, or sweet potatoes. This diversity allows income to be spread over the year while producing food for the daily consumption of local communities.

The cooperative is an offshoot of "A New Beginning", a charity founded by Jacqueline Turner following the 1994 genocide to support the resettlement of widows and orphans who had fled to the north of the country. It has since become the collective property of the women farmers.

The climate is tropical at high altitude, generally cool and humid, with abundant rainfall throughout the year, very suitable for growing exceptional coffee.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions
  • There is no right or wrong way to make coffee. However, there are coffees that are more or less suited to a particular extraction method, depending on their aromatic profiles and their roasts. Ask us for advice if you have any doubts.

  • No, absolutely not. The fridge is a humid environment, which will degrade the aromatic qualities of your coffee. You can possibly freeze it in a vacuum if it is in beans. The best way to preserve your coffee is to leave it in its original bag, away from air and light.

  • Yes, it is essential. Coffee is ground differently depending on the extraction method, and in espresso coffees from different origins will not give the same results depending on the grind. Learn how to adjust your grinder if you have one. Even an automatic machine can be adjusted, do not hesitate to ask us for advice.

  • A lighter roasted coffee will be more suitable for so-called "soft" extractions such as filters or pistons. A darker roasted coffee is more suitable for espresso machines. We give you some indications in the product sheets, but do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
