Shyira Washed

About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee is a Red Bourbon variety from the Nyabihu District in northern Rwanda. Grown at 1,850 meters above sea level near the Virunga volcanic chain, the cherries are processed using the washed method. The coffee offers a clear, elegant structure with a bright, juicy profile. Tasting notes include apricot, lemonade, and black tea when brewed as a filter coffee, while the espresso preparation presents notes of redcurrant and dried apricot with a soft sweetness and a clean, dry aftertaste.
