Rob says: Yes, it exists: a Rwandan coffee that combines the clean, fruity brightness of a Kenyan with the floral elegance of an Ethiopian

Rwandan coffees historically faced challenges with quality control, particularly with processing consistency, but it’s clear that stations like GITESI are turning the tide. By fine-tuning their techniques, they’re now producing beans that rival the most celebrated coffee origins. This dedication to quality from the Gahizi family is promising for Rwandan coffee as a whole—especially if Gitesi can consistently deliver beans with this kind of complexity and clarity.
