Description

This coffee is called Hafi, which means “close” in Kirundi. Before the washing station opened, small farmers in the area faced a 20km journey to deliver their freshly harvested cherry to the nearest wet mill. With the hilly terrain, that was too far to travel in one day. Quality standards require same-day processing for harvested cherry. A wet mill nearby makes it possible to grow this specialty coffee we treasure, which features silky smooth notes of sweet, dried cherries and blackberries.

Benefits:

  • Local Access: The nearby wet mill allows farmers to process cherries the same day they are harvested, ensuring high quality.
  • Rich Flavor Profile: Offers silky smooth notes of sweet, dried cherries and blackberries, providing a unique tasting experience.
  • Community Support: Supports local farmers by reducing travel time and improving processing capabilities.

Cupping Notes:

  • Silky smooth texture
  • Sweet, dried cherries
  • Blackberries

Flavor Profile:

  • Balanced and fruity with a smooth finish

  • Espresso

    Espresso requires the finest grind, almost like powdered sugar. This method uses high pressure to force hot water through the finely ground coffee, resulting in a concentrated shot of coffee.

  • Single Use Pod

    A medium grind is needed for this method. The coffee is brewed by dripping hot water over the grounds, contained in a Single Use Pod.

  • Drip Coffee

    This method requires a medium grind, similar in texture to sea salt. The coffee is brewed by dripping hot water over the grounds, which are contained in a filter.

  • Pour Over

    Pour over, like V60 or Chemex, calls for a medium-coarse grind. This method involves pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter and letting the coffee drip into a vessel below.

  • French Press

    A coarse grind is best for French Press. This brewing method involves steeping coffee grounds in hot water for several minutes before pressing down a plunger to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee.

  • Cold Brew

    Cold brew requires the coarsest grind, similar to breadcrumbs. It involves steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period, usually 12 hours or more, to produce a smooth, rich coffee concentrate.
