Only ripe cherries are handpicked and floated to remove defects before being pulped, fermented, soaked, and sun-dried on raised tables. The result is a clean, balanced coffee that reflects Rwanda’s best.
SOURCING STORY
This organic lot comes from Sucafina via their in-country partner, RWACOF. Isimbi—the Kinyarwanda word for the bright white crown of a volcano, also meaning pure—embodies clarity and consistency in the cup. Selected by RWACOF’s QC team, it delivers dependable quality season after season. At 49th, this coffee has long been a trusted component in some of their most loved blends and now shines beautifully on its own. In concert with their sustainability partner, the Kahawatu Foundation, RWACOF invests heavily in yield improvements, farmer training, quality initiatives, environmental sustainability, and programs designed to improve farmer livelihoods—ensuring long-term impact at origin.
