Lake Kivu's steady winds create ideal conditions for drying high-quality coffees: red apple sweetness & a jam-like body.
We are excited to revisit Gisheke year after year, as we believe Muraho Trading Co are producing some of the best coffees in Rwanda.
Gisheke is uniquely nestled between two steep hills pointing towards Lake Kivu, the Idjwi Island and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The setting on the shores of Lake Kivu make the wind flow ideal for drying high quality lots on raised African beds.
Our selected washed lot reveals red apple sweetness, vanilla and a jam-like body.
Muraho Trading Company was formed by two brothers who had a vision to showcase the potential of Rwandan coffee. The farm has recently seen major refurbishments after being purchased in 2017, now set up to produce complex coffee.
Overlooking Lake Kivu, 40% of the cherries processed at Gisheke are grown on Mushungwe Island and are delivered by boat.
About Obadiah:
The founder, Sam Young, who first tried his hand at roasting in Australia (at Five Senses Coffee), opened his own roastery in 2017 on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
Clean and expressive
To truly reveal the innate character of a coffee, a deep understanding of its raw material is required.
We have established close partnerships with growers and producers who nurture their cherry, preserving its natural qualities within the seed.
Then, by roasting delicately and soon after harvest, we curate a resolutely seasonal offering of coffees that have retained their distinct expression.
For our coffees to be best enjoyed, we recommend a generous resting period after roast, to allow trapped CO2 to release, and the full spectrum of flavours to be revealed.
We encourage resting our coffees in its sealed bag for a minimum of 21 days, and we have found interesting results far beyond.
