Traceability is not so easy in origins such as Rwanda, usually only going back as far as the washing station. However, back in 2019 Semilla were told about traceability to local small holdings on the hills near a washing station owned by Emanuel. Together Semilla and Emanuel embarked on finding fully traceable lots to ensure fair compensation for their coffees.
This lot is a collective of 31 small holder owners in North Eastern Rwanda with some of these small holdings – for example the one owned by Marie Mukandaheranwa being just 50 trees! Being able to ensure these producers get the recompense they deserve for their coffees is fundamental to not only fairer – but better coffee production.
This coffee is an incredibly sweet, juicy fruit forward cup that is going to present itself beautiully especially in these hotter months, we are super excited to get this onto cold brew and into iced beverages!
