Rwanda Nyamurinda

About This Coffee

This is the new harvest of - in our opinion - the most affordable coffee you can find; the quality that the sisters consistently deliver to us is usually only found in more expensive microlots. If you haven't tried this fantastic coffee, we highly recommend it. In addition, the new harvest is possibly even better than the previous year's. We at Gringo have an extra special relationship with Nyamurinda and the place and the people behind it, it is a unique story. Even before we started Gringo, Johan, Pernilla and Petter (3/4 of the Ekfeldt family) went to Rwanda and met Francine and Immaculate and their families, who run the washing station (that's what it's called in Rwanda, families from the hills around come there with their coffee harvest to then have the beans processed there). The sisters were the only two of eight siblings who survived the genocide in Rwanda and have since worked successfully, dedicatedly and carefully to grow and refine coffee and they also run a school, for example. Their coffee was the first to come to Gringo and our collaboration and relationship continues, their coffee continues to maintain such high quality and be so good and they are so fantastic to work with.. The sisters actively support female family farmers in the region and have also ensured that all important positions at the washing station are held by women. The coffee is not organically certified, but all coffee is shade-grown and neither artificial fertilizers nor pesticides are used, so by definition we dare to say that this is an organically grown coffee. Rwanda Nyamurinda is characterized by apricot fruitiness, creaminess and mild balance.
