Mbilima. All members of the Dukunde Kawa Cooperative are trained to only select ripe coffee cherries from their trees. On delivery the cherries are inspected and sorted by hand to ensure only the very ripest cherries are processed. They are then sorted by weight (and any floaters are removed). After pulping, the coffee is fermented overnight for around 12–18 hours and then graded again using floatation channels that sort the coffee by weight. The beans are then soaked for a further 24 hours, before being moved to raised screens for ‘wet sorting’ by hand. Next, the beans are moved onto the washing station’s extensive raised drying tables (‘African beds’) for around two weeks. 

Mbilima Women’s Coffee from Rwanda. A great coffee produced by women farmers is back again this year! This lot is an organic red bourbon coffee variety. The nice and complexity in the cup is amazing. All combine to get blossom flower aromatic, cherry and berries flavour, creamy mouthfeel and sweet long aftertaste. Get one to experience it by yourself, we guarantee this coffee will be the ultimate pleasure for everyday drinking. 

RECOMMENDED Suitable for Filter brewing methods and French press.
