This coffee is a single-origin Bourbon variety from the Kabirizi washing station in the Rutsiro District of Rwanda. Grown at an altitude of 1,750 meters, it undergoes a specific Rwandan washed process that includes a unique 24-hour water soaking step after fermentation. The coffee is produced by the COOPAC cooperative, which is Fair Trade-certified and operates near Lake Kivu. This coffee reflects the high-quality specialty standards developed in Rwanda since the early 2000s.
Founded by Curtis Zimmerman, a former international bicycle racer who discovered Nordic coffee culture during his travels through Europe, Presta Coffee emerged in 2012 with a coffee cart before establishing itself as a roastery in 2014. Operating using a 15kg Joper Roaster with the belief that "coffee is meant to be shared," Presta has served Tucson for over a decade with a philosophy rooted in integrity and passion.
