ABOUT COFFEE

At last, the long-awaited spring arrives, and with it come containers of fresh harvests from Rwanda. Among them is a crown jewel from the Gasharu washing station: Women’s Crown. A lot prepared entirely by women, from the moment the cherries are harvested all the way through to the final stages of processing.

The name refers to the Rwandan tradition of Urugori, a symbolic crown given to a woman after the birth of her first child as a sign of recognition for her role within the family and the community. In the case of this coffee, it also serves to highlight the role women play across the entire coffee value chain.

In the cup, this year’s harvest is defined above all by sweetness. The profile is fruity, though closer to dark and dried fruits. Notes of plum appear first, followed by dried apricot and raisins. To round out this wave of sweetness, the whole profile feels as if the fruits had been drizzled with buckwheat honey. Sweet, dense and deeply satisfying.

This lot was produced within a transparent pricing model, where additional value goes directly to the women involved in its production. A simple way to ensure that the work of women in the coffee community is not only visible, but genuinely recognised.

Store in a cold and dry space.
