About coffee from Rwanda

Rwanda's coffee is grown at high altitude, largely from Bourbon varieties, and processed at community washing stations. It's known for bright red fruit, citrus and a tea-like finish.

What the process means

In a washed process, the fruit is removed from the bean before it dries. Washed coffees tend to taste clean and bright, and show off the character of the origin.
