Rwanda Washed Rwamiko

Rwanda Washed Rwamiko

Gicumbi District, Northern Province | Local Bourbon Varieties | 1820 to 2000 masl

This washed coffee from Rwanda is clean, elegant, and deeply expressive. Produced by 1,277 farmers organized around Rwamiko Coffee Washing Station in the Gicumbi District of Rwanda’s Northern Province, this lot is a beautiful example of the clarity, structure, and tea-like complexity that Rwandan coffees are so loved for.

From hot to cool, the cup unfolds with layered sweetness and a silky texture. It opens with honeyed sweetness and bright citrus, moving into notes of lemon, cherry, black tea, apricot, and soft tropical fruit. As it cools, the coffee becomes even more expressive, revealing delicate impressions of orange peel tea, lemon curd, passion fruit, persimmon, lemongrass, and mango.

The low intervention washed process highlights the coffee’s clean structure and precise flavor clarity, while the high elevation helps preserve its vibrant acidity and refined sweetness. The texture is one of the most memorable parts of the cup, soft and smooth, with a silk-like body that carries the fruit and tea-like notes beautifully.

It is bright, graceful, and layered, with classic Rwandan black tea character and a deeper tropical sweetness beneath the surface. This is an idyllic expression of Rwandan coffee, memorable, balanced, and absolutely delicious.
