Rwanda Kibuye Gitesi

On the Siphon right now we have Rwanda Kibuye Gitesi.

Gitesi is located in a beautiful area in Rwanda at 1740 meters. It was started in 2005 and continues to grow in size each year. Currently, 1,830 farmers contribute their coffee cherries to Gitesi. They are paid an additional dividend based on their performance for the season. This fosters a great relationship which produces better coffee and better wages.

In the cup it's Mandarin orange, apricot, and hints of floral with a pure clean sweetness. As it cools, a honey clover essence emerges with lingering floral and sweet citrus notes. Amazing!
