We're tasting Butterscotch & Blood Orange

Kanzu is the name of the washing station in the Nyamaheke region near Lake Kivu. High up in the surrounding lush mountains, amidst the natural forest of Nyunwe, 535 coffee growers contribute their coffee cherries to this station. The volcanic soil, high elevation (2,000 masl) and mature Bourbon varieties of coffee, all contribute to a very special coffee and a favorite around Dogwood for the last 7 years.

Washing station: Kanzu  Producers: Many small producers   Region: Nyamasheke Altitude: 1800-2100 meters  Variety: Bourbon Process: Washed

Rwanda's Nyamasheke region, known for quality washed coffees, brings together small producers in the country's southwestern highlands. This Bourbon varietal lot grows between 1800–2100 masl, elevations that favor clarity and complexity in washed-process coffees. Dogwood Coffee sources from multiple smallholders here, capturing the region's characteristic balance of fruit-forward brightness and subtle sweetness—evident in the roastery's tasting notes of butterscotch and blood orange. The natural acidity and clean finish typical of washed Rwandans allow these flavor notes to shine without heavy body, making this a versatile cup for filter or espresso preparation.
