Cast Iron Coffee Roasters - Muhura - Rwanda - Natural

One that has to be tasted to be believed. Such sweet flavours but with enough clout to punch through milk. This coffee makes the perfect flat white.

We did purchase this coffee with espresso in mind but with a different roast profile it does also produce a clean fruity filter coffee which is guaranteed to make you smile!

With this natural processed coffee we have chosen, sorting was undertaken upon delivery of cherry to remove underripes, then the cherries were taken straight to raised beds for drying. It takes around 30 days to fully dry the cherries. (On average, 7kgs of freshly harvested cherry will yield 1kg of export quality green coffee).

Situated in the Gatsibo District in the Eastern Province of Rwanda, Muhuara was a failing wash station rescued and purchased by the Rwanda Trading Company (RTC) in 2013. Since then, the station has processed on average 900 metric tons of cherry, and RTC's investment has upgraded facilities and improved both processing and management capacity at Muhura.

Most notably, RTC's involvement has seen a considerable improvement in the quality the station produces, and this year they have starting experimenting with non washed processing and have produced two very special lots, a honey and natural.
