Rwanda Ijabo 'Youth Project' Washed

A beautifully clean and juicy washed lot care of our latest impact-led origin project - established to help build the next generation of coffee producers in Nyamasheke, Rwanda. We couldn't be more excited to share the incredible results of the "Ijabo" producer group's second harvest.

Expect: Lemon Sherbet, Black Tea, Golden Raisin Enjoy: With or Without Milk Process: Washed

This washed Rwanda from Nyamasheke's Ijabo producer group exemplifies the clarity and refinement typical of washed-process coffees, which tend to highlight origin character and acidity. North Star's tasting notes—lemon sherbet, black tea, and golden raisin—suggest a cup with bright citric acidity balanced by subtle sweetness and subtle dried-fruit notes. The "Youth Project" designation points to Ijabo's focus on cultivating the next generation of Rwandan coffee producers.

Sourced through North Star Coffee Roasters, this lot represents Rwanda's consistent reputation for clean, expressive washed coffees. The black tea character indicates moderate body and tannin structure, making this a versatile choice for those seeking vibrant but balanced single-origin clarity.
