rwanda - mahembe murundo

Mahembe Murundo is a traditional washed coffee from Nyamasheke, Rwanda, produced by 400 farmers in association with Furaha Umwizeye's Kivubelt Murundo washing station. Rwanda's Nyamasheke district boasts an exceptional terroir. The cool, wet climates of Lake Kivu and the Nyungwe Forest National Park maintain abundant groundwater. The Kivu itself is part of the East African Rift whose constant drift creates volcanic seepage at the bottom of the lake and enriches the surrounding soils.

You'll find notes of black tea, citrus (usually orange or lemon), a touch of sweetness (sugar, honey, caramel) with soft, rounded contours, plus a silky body. It's a combination of characteristics both familiar and unique. Mahembe Murundo is a magnificent representation of Rwanda and its beauty as a great, proud country!
