Rebelbean Rwanda Bwenda, 250g
Selected and freshly roasted coffee from the Rebelbean roastery in Brno.
Flavour: TEA-STRUŽINA-PANELA
Your coffee comes to you from the Bwenda processing station in the southern province of Rwanda. In Rwanda, a system of buying and processing in processing stations where the bought cherries are peeled, washed and dried is common, as the farmers themselves usually do not have the necessary equipment. Bwenda was established in 2019 by Rwanda Trading Company (RTC), a sister company of our importer Falcon Coffees. Falcon purchases all of its coffees from Rwanda through this organization. One of RTC's commitments is to educate farmers on sustainable farming as well as the financial side of coffee production. Over 52,000 farmers have been through their training program since 2013 and of those, 1,600 use or have used the Bwenda station.
This time, Rebelbean has chosen a coffee that could be described as a typical representative of the coffees from Rwanda - a Red Bourbon variety processed using the washed method. For a long time, only washed coffees could be exported from Rwanda in order to recoup the investment made by the state in the many mills that were built to support the coffee industry. This is why we always associate Rwandan coffees with this flavour profile.
It is a juicy, clean coffee with a tea-like body. The cup is dominated by a strong blackberry acidity that is balanced by the sweetness of the panela and the light bitterness of the black tea. This coffee stands out on both espresso and filter.
