Treat Selection: Kirambo

This outstanding coffee comes from the Nyamasheke region in southwestern Rwanda, on the shores of Lake Kivu. The area is one of the country's most renowned premium coffee-growing regions, where volcanic soil, the humid microclimate provided by the lake, and altitudes between 1500 and 2100 meters create perfect conditions for coffee. Thanks to slower maturation, Rwandan coffees are characterized by more intense, complex flavor notes.

The Kirambo Washing Station is located on a hillside overlooking Lake Kivu. The washing station was founded in 2008, but its operation was not continuous at first. The turning point came in 2017 when the Rwanda Trading Company (RTC) took over the operation of the station. Since then, Kirambo has become one of the region's leading specialty coffee processing centers, regularly producing high-scoring, award-winning lots.

The box contains 10 Nespresso* compatible coffee capsules (399 HUF/capsule).

The coffee is grown by local family farms, mostly on their own small plantations (this is why processing stations have emerged in this region, collecting harvested coffee beans from many growers, sorting them by quality, and then processing them with their own equipment – something individual small farms would be unable to do on their own). The Rwanda Trading Company, which operates the washing station, supports individual small-scale farmers with professional training, plant renewal programs, and financing opportunities, contributing to the continuous improvement of coffee quality, the cohesion of local communities, and the livelihoods of farmers.

The coffee is hand-harvested, carefully sorted, and then processed using the dry (natural) method: this involves 15–22 days of drying on raised drying beds. During the process, the residual moisture content of the coffee is regularly checked. This processing method results in particularly intense fruitiness, rich sweetness, and complex aromas.

Our recommendation for coffee

In black:always use the short button; the result will be a sweet, red-berried coffee, not too acidic! Let it cool down a bit before you sip it!

With milk:we would only add a very small amount of milk, maximum a 1:1 ratio, so that the true flavors of the coffee can come through!

If you're looking for something special:put a few large ice cubes in a glass, and pour an espresso over them (the coffee should go onto the ice, not next to it!). The amount of ice is good if there are still ice cubes left in the finished drink. Taste it and enjoy :-)
