Rwandan Buncho
Fruity | Clean | Juicy | Creamy
Grown on the hillsides above Lake Kivu, this natural lot comes from Rwamatamu Coffee, a family-run business in Rwanda’s Nyamasheke District. Founded by Mukantwaza Laetitia and Rutaganda Gaston in 2015, Rwamatamu works with both its own 20-hectare farm and a network of local co-operatives and smallholder producers, most of whom are women. Together, they’re producing coffee that combines quality, traceability, and a clear social impact.
Additional information
The cherries for this lot were delivered to Rwamatamu’s washing station, sorted to remove any defects or underripe fruit, then slowly dried on raised beds for 25 to 35 days. Shade nets and plastic covers protect the coffee throughout, ensuring a stable drying process until it reaches the target 11% moisture.
In the cup, it’s a standout natural – juicy and structured, with berry-like sharpness, a creamy mouthfeel, and good depth. Notes of sweet cocoa powder linger on a clean, rich finish.
