Roaster's Notes
This Rwandan coffee comes from Buf Cafe. The Buf Cafe washing station is in the mountains of Rwanda near the village of Karaba; it has been in operation since 2000, producing clean & high quality coffees like this one! This washed Red Bourbon is a great example of a clean Rwandan coffee. The Red Bourbon varietal is known for being a little winey. This coffee has notes of red berries, a hint of acidity and a clean chocolate finish. It's a delicious African coffee! We love it on pourover or Chemex or drip. Notes on the washing station from the importer: Buf Cafe is a private washing station, owned wholly by the Muhirwa family, processing coffee cherry from two distinct cooperatives in the Ginkongoro prefecture: Cobabakagi (1300 members) and Terimbere Kawa Yacu (between 400-600 members). They also collect cherry from farmers in other regions, siphoning away outside cooperative output by placing collection sites within the operating zones of other established groups. Buf Cafe operates two separate washing stations – Nyrusiza and Remera. This particular lot comes from cherry milled at the Nyarusiza station. Processing here follows the Rwandan standard, with a floating tank sort, 8-12 hour dry fermentation, second sort for weight using water shoots, then a 24 hour soak prior to hand washing and hand sorting, concluded by placement on raised drying beds on the mountain valley floor. Similar practices are followed at Nyarusiza. Buf Cafe’s dry mill facility is located in Karaba.
