Kirambo - Rwanda

'Earthy, intense and rich - classic washed Rwandan coffee'

In the cup, you'll find stewed red fruits, a very pleasing orange acidity and a delicious brown sugar sweetness. The hint of nutmeg in the finish reminds me a lot of washed Rwandan coffee from a few years back - and that's a very good thing. . 

This is coffee for those of you that like your brews a bit more robust. It's heavy, full-bodied and intense. Amazing as people pleasing espresso, or in a bean to cup machine, or perfect for your Sunday morning cafetière.

Kirambo is a washed-process coffee from Rwanda, roasted by Foundry Coffee Roasters. The washed method typically emphasizes cleaner acidity and more defined fruit character, qualities evident in this lot's profile of stewed red fruits and bright orange acidity. The roaster identifies complementary sweetness from brown sugar and warm spice notes of nutmeg, creating a balanced, approachable cup. Rwanda's high-altitude growing regions have earned recognition for producing coffees with pronounced acidity and complexity, and Kirambo reflects those regional strengths through its fruit-forward character and layered sweetness. This coffee suits those seeking clarity in a naturally fruit-driven profile without excessive heaviness.
