Coffee Origins
to Friends of Bluebird, the Kilimbi Coffee Washing Station already represents remarkable consistency and high quality East African coffees. Coffees from Kilimbi are well loved among them as we have seen many iterations of the washed and natural process variants of coffees from this washing station. T
his year we will be sharing the first special process coffee from Kilimbi CWS with this anaerobic natural process coffee. It has all the characteristics we know and love from Rwandan coffees of this kind, dialed up to 11. The coffee is harvested, sorted for only the ripest cherries and then fermented in an environment free of oxygen. This promotes certain bacteria during fermentation and enhances the intensity of the coffee’s sweetness and fruity flavour profile. For a long time, natural processing was very rare in Rwanda, but with coffees like this making its way onto our menu, we are happy to say that Rwandan natural and anaerobic coffees have firmly cemented their spot amongst the tastiest coffees coming out of East Africa.
This fermentation gives us a unique rendition of this Rwandan coffee The red fruit and berry sweetness coffees from this area are known for present as Black cherry in this coffee, juicy, sweet and slightly tart in its character, this is complimented by a stonefruit characteristic which presents as sweet apricot in this coffee. The coffee’s layered sweetness is contrasted by its juicy acidity, balancing the coffee’s flavour profile for a taste experience unlike any we have had from our Rwandan coffees. It’s loudly and proudly East African bourbon coffee at its finest.
