Rinaldo's Coffee: Rwanda, Kigeme Top Lot 100, Decaffeinated

Kigeme coffee washing station is a spectacular mix of hillside and raised beds. 1300 smallholder farmers bring their coffee for processing. Recently refurbished, the Kigeme has 40 raised beds and more being constructed.

The station benefits from the high altitude, which allows for mature, slow-growing coffee cherries. This slowness of ripening gives a very desirable balance of acidity and sweetness. The farmers are well trained in good agricultural practices which is so important in producing excellent coffee beans and sound harvesting.

This is decaffeinated using carbon dioxide (CO2).
