This washed red bourbon comes to us via Umuko. We have purchased two other lots, the past two year - Gashura & Ireme from these folks. This year the Rugori was undeniable and wanting to deepen our relationship with this exporter - we brought it in.

We find classic washed African coffee flavors. Savory sweet, with balanced acidity.

“Honoring women’s work in coffee – Urugori  is a crown that Rwandan women are given after the birth of their first child. This coffee lot is solely produced and processed by women, who make up over 70% of Gasharu’s workforce. This batch is meant to highlight their integral role in our industry and community and provide them with an additional 10% of the profit. It has been proven that by putting more money in the hands of women, communities can eradicate malnutrition and illiteracy and ensure girls’ access to education.” - Umuko
