Rwanda

FULLY WASHED ISIMBI

This specialty coffee comes from the eastern part of Rwanda, in the Rwamagana district. It is an area inhabited mainly by farmers (around 90%). The name of the Karenge region means small footprint in Kinwardan, the official language of Rwanda.

Coffee production in Rwanda began in the mid-twentieth century, but in this “short” time they have managed to produce excellent single-origin coffees, including those from the Karenge region.

When coffees are selected for the Isimbi blend, the Quality Control team of Sucafina is inspired by its namesake. The Kinyarwanda word for the white at the top of a volcano; which is also used to refer to something pure.
