This juicy Rwandan coffee from Durham’s Fika coffee is bursting with bright green apple acidity and a sweet cola flavour that we just couldn’t resist.

Rwamatamu Coffee  have transformed their business since expanding into their new coffee washing station in Mbare in 2023. Coffee farming is much less well-established here with a historical focus on other crops, but Rwamatamu are engaging with local farmers and establishing facilities to help improve coffee production.

This harvest season, Rwamatamu have made the decision to close their original mill in Nyamasheke and focus their processing operations on their new Mbare site. Not only is Mbare more modern with triple the processing capability, but it's much closer to the dry mill in Kigali where the final processing before export takes place. Less time transporting means big savings and lower risk, and greater profitability for farmers that’s already paying dividends with great tasting coffees like this one.
