Simbi Honey - Ruanda

About This Coffee

A honey-processed single-origin coffee from Rwanda, sourced from smallholder farmers who bring their harvest to the Simbi Washing Station. The variety is Red Bourbon, harvested in March–May 2019, and organized through a cooperative structure similar to Ethiopia. Available as a filter roast — where the sweetness of pineapple and the acidity of green grapes shine — and as a lighter espresso roast with spicy and floral aromas.

Co-founders Matthias Hoppenworth and Julian Ploch have been roasting on a Giesen W30A in their Sachsenhausen roastery since 2019, with a strong focus on light roasts that reveal the full complexity of each origin. They were named Roaster of the Year 2021 by Crema Magazine, and their team includes a German Roasting Master champion. Alongside their three Frankfurt cafés — including one in the beautifully reconstructed new Altstadt — they run popular barista courses and supply offices and restaurants.
