Organic Rwanda Kamonyi Mbizi - Roasted Coffee

This offering from Rwanda is a stellar showcase of the fine coffees from this region. The cup quality is smooth and clean, with snappy acidity and a velvety mouthfeel. Floral and tropical fruit notes are prominent, with a lightly sweet finish.

This fully washed lot is sourced from exclusively women producers supplying Mbizi washing station, a wetmill operated by Gihanga Coffee Company in Kamonyi district. Mbizi sits at around 2,200 masl making it one of Rwanda's highest altitude wetmills. Gihanga works with over 3,000 small farmers in the region. These producers cultivate bourbon trees and their farms average around 4ha in size. Mbizi washing station is located in Rukoma sector, Kamonyi district, in Rwanda's Southern Province. Like much of Rwanda - “the land of a thousand hills” - the terrain is mountainous, rugged, and exceptionally beautiful. Rich volcanic soils, plentiful sunshine, and tropical rainfall provide exceptional conditions for the cultivation of arabica, and the Bourbon variety particularly excels in the high elevations of Rwanda’s mountains.

Reviews

Another Great East African Coffee

"Can’t beat a good East African coffee, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Mild medium roast helps keep the subtleties recognizable. I ordered this one coarse ground for French Press prep, and it seems a little finer than usual, but still produces a clean cup."

Matthew S. (5/5)

Fresh and robust!

"Sniffing the newly opened bag is rewarding on its own, but that’s just the beginning. This freshly roasted coffee is robust and so satisfying. Every morning is a treat, grinding the beans, releasing the aroma and savoring the perfect cup."

David L. (5/5)

Similar by quality and flavor to Sidamo

"I love Sidamo coffee. But it wasn't in stock and I decided to try this one and it's very good. From now on will order these two on a constant basis"

Andrii K. (5/5)

Rwanda

"Great coffee highly recommend everyone try it"

linda h. (5/5)

Try It!

"Our first reaction was ok but then we tried it as a pour over. What a big difference. It was smooth and light, perfect for a summer morning on the porch. We can never stick to just one kind, and FRC has a great variety."

Suzan M. (5/5)

Very light but very flavorful,

"Very light but very flavorful, not even a hint of bitterness, I especially enjoyed the subtle floral and sweet note! A really good coffee to start the day!"

Daniel R. (5/5)

If citrus turned into coffee

"If citrus turned into coffee beans, this is what it would taste like. Very light and bright. It makes for a wonderful afternoon coffee with a biscuit or a perfect after meal coffee."

William H. (5/5)

Bright Everyday Coffee

"I really enjoyed this coffee—it’s clean, smooth, and easy to drink. I picked up some light citrus and a bit of berry, which gave it a nice brightness without being too acidic. It’s not a heavy or bold roast, but that’s exactly why I liked it for everyday use. It worked best for me as a pour-over, where the flavors came through more clearly. Not the most complex coffee I’ve had, but definitely a solid, reliable one I’d buy again."

Lyubomir M. (5/5)

Fair alternative to Sidamo

"Been experimenting with some of FRC's other single origin alternatives to Ethiopian, and this one is not bad, though probably won't replace the former for me."

Thanh-Liem H. (4/5)

Flavorful

"I love this roast. Delightful flavor without being too light. Love the floral notes and hint of sweetness."
