This Gitesi coffee is produced in the Western Province of Rwanda at the Gitesi washing station. It is a natural processed coffee, with cherries dried in thin layers on drying beds for 3 to 4 weeks. The flavor profile features fruity notes of blueberry, apricot, and plum, balanced by a creamy milk chocolate finish. This medium-roasted coffee is versatile and suitable for various brewing methods, including espresso and filter.
Muda is a micro specialty roastery led by Dajo Aertssen, a decorated cup tasting champion who brings deep sensory expertise to small batch roasting. They rotate roughly fifteen coffees at a time, often single origin, and prefer roast profiles that work for both espresso and filter so customers can brew whichever way they prefer. Sourcing emphasizes transparency and quality from Colombia, Rwanda, Ethiopia and El Salvador among others, and their reputation in the French specialty community makes their beans a destination buy for visiting coffee fans.
