  • About Bwishaza carbonic natural | Rwanda

    Our coffees from Rwanda are directly traded with producers and we are able to offer full transparency and detailed information on these coffees. For more information on how we source coffees take a look at our Transparency Report.

    This is a special preparation limited edition micro-lot produced using a technique known as carbonic maceration:

    1) Carefully harvested ripe cherry was floated and washed to removed defects.
    2) The cherry was then fermented in sealed bags for 48 hours to kick start fermentation.
    3) After fermentation the coffee was dried on raised table.

    This technique helps to enhance flavours by kick starting fermentation before the drying process takes place. This helps to create additional fruit flavours with more acidity. Tasting notes include strawberry, black cherry and honey.

Best as espresso!

Enjoyed best as espresso, summer fruits, balanced out by a nice sweet note of honey! Follows the recipe given more or less, with some slight reduction in dosage.

Seriously impressive

Packed full of flavour. which I really like. If you like traditional espresso, perhaps this isn't for you. Not much dark chocolate or deep caramel you would expect from most espresso beans. However if you like to experiment, try new complex coffees, mess around with your ratios and play with the flavour profiles, this is one of the best beans to experience. One of those beans where the flavour profile changes as it cools, pull it short and it's like liquid strawberry, pull it longer and the flavour balances right out. Marvellous. Probably one of the best beans i've ever had. Hope it sells well, hope the producer continues to supply it and HCR continues to stock it!

Thank you so much for this fantastic rewview. I've personally visited Bwishaza many times and they will be so pleased to hear this amazing feedback!

Beautiful and delightful coffee

I don’t know how you do it, your description of the coffee and tasting notes is bang on every time.

This is no different, I can taste the slight fermentation notes, which gives the flavour a slight acidic/strawberry flavour with the richness of cherry. Nice change to the usual washed blends I buy from you.

First time purchase.

Pretty new to the coffee scene and invested in a Bean to Cup machine. Horsham amongst a few others came highly recommend based a few posts on Reddit. So took the plunge and enjoying my first batch of Beans, the Rwanda blend which has nice deep flavors of Cherry which I can taste the most and look forward to trying my next batch soon after.
