Rwanda Intego Anaerobic Natural Red Bourbon Espresso - Weight: 1 000 g

This is an absolute bomb! Bold and aromatic anaerobic coffee from Rwanda.

About the Region

The coffee comes from Gasharu Coffee Washing Station, located in the Macuba sector, Nyamasheke district, Western Province of Rwanda. The station works with a community of approximately 1,650 farmers and offers a range of experimental processing methods from natural, honey, to anaerobic — and the latest “Resolution” process is particularly noteworthy. The farmers’ elevation ranges from 1,600 to 2,100 meters above sea level, with the station itself at 1,670 m, which together with acidic soil and annual rainfall of around 1,300–1,400 mm provides an ideal base for pronounced flavor. The farmers also collaborate to improve community financial resilience through educational initiatives.

About the Farm / Processing

This coffee is the result of a series of experimental trials — anaerobic fermentation in a sealed environment during the December 2024 harvest, a carefully selected process called “Resolution,” combining purposefulness and innovation. The goal of anaerobic fermentation is to enhance acidity and the aromatic flavor profile.

Tasting Notes

The flavor profile is very unusual for Rwandan coffees. Anaerobic fermentation has given the coffee a pronounced aroma and a transparent taste. You will notice notes of red grapes, blackberries, and nougat.
