Rwanda Mwito

What We Taste: Raspberry  Pineapple  Caramel
 
Produced by various small hold farmers, this natural Rwandan coffee was processed at the Mwito Central Washing Station, which has been owned by the Rwanda Trading Company (RTC) since 2017.  RTC was established in 2009 with the goal of fostering positive social change by providing economic to small hold farmers via transparent supply chains.  Today RTC is responsible for processing and exporting 25% of Rwanda's coffee production.
 
The Mwito washing station lies in a particularly remote and challenging location, near the breathtaking scenery of Lake Kivu.  Travel to Mwito is the most time consuming of all the RTC washing stations for this reason.  RTC also farms a herd of cows at the station, providing organic fertiliser and milk to a kindergarten established by RTC to school the children of local coffee farmers.  The school is currenlty 150 students.
 
This Rwanda Mwito natural is delightfully sweet bright, clean and juicy cup of raspberry, pineapple and caramel with a pleasing lemon and lime acidity.
 
Available for either espresso or filter coffee brewing.
