Rwanda - Mbizi Women Coffee BIO / Espresso

This cup of light-roasted organic coffee from Rwanda not only tastes incomparable, but also tells a story full of courage and hope. This fine organic Arabica comes from the Mbizi Washing Station in Rwanda's Kamonyi District—a place where women, working together, achieve great things.

The two founders, Aline and Odette, set themselves a goal: to change the lives of widowed and disadvantaged women. With passion, they not only established coffee production but also distributed goats and fertilizer to secure the families' livelihoods. Every bean speaks of solidarity, strength, and the vision of a better future.

Kamonyi is located in southern Rwanda and offers ideal conditions for high-quality coffee cultivation. The subtropical climate, regular rainfall, and altitudes of 1,400 to 2,000 meters create a perfect environment for the Arabica variety Red Bourbon. The region's fertile clay soils are rich in minerals and give the coffee cherries their unique aroma. Kamonyi is also known for its sustainable farming methods and strong community of smallholder farmers who pass on their knowledge across generations.

This fine, washed red bourbon boasts complex fruit notes of gooseberry and lime, along with a sweet finish of buccaneer. With every sip, you support these inspiring women and taste the dedication that went into every bean.
