This complex and invigorating blend is the result of the hard work of Edson Morais de Barros in Brazil and the producers of the Gitega Hills washing station in Rwanda. Medium roasted to create a contemporary celebration of speciality coffee.
The Brazilian element is grown by Edson Morais de Barros on Pe De Cedro farm. It's located in the highlands of Mantiqueira de Minas, in Southern Minas Gerais. Pe de Cedro was well known for its quality, and since taking it over, Edson has invested in machinery and techniques to further elevate the quality of his coffee and build the potential of the farm and the region. Edson is committed to environmental and social sustainability, and produces his coffee in line with best coffee practices and the region’s coffee traditions.
Our Rwandan coffee is produced by 1,040 smallholder farmers with an average of 1 hectare (roughly 400 trees). The local washing station where all cherries for this coffee get delivered is called Gitega Hills. The station creates employment for the local area with 150 staff – 90% being women. Rwanda Trading Company export this coffee and have helped contribute to some great improvements for farmers in Rwanda.
