About Liza anaerobic natural | Rwanda
Liza washing station is owned by Jean Paul. He is a second-generation coffee farmer and we've been buying direct since 2018. This is a special preparation, limited edition micro-lot produced using a technique known as anaerobic fermentation:
1) Harvest only very ripe cherry with careful sorting using flotation to remove defects and to wash the cherry.
2) Place cherry into sacks and seal so that no air can get into the sacks for 48 hours.
3) Dry the coffee cherry on raised tables.
This technique helps to enhance flavours and to create some additional acidity. In this case it's created a natural processed microlot with elevated cup score and stunning tasting notes that include pineapple, strawberry and honey. -

The Producer
Liza
Liza washing station is owned by Jean Paul. We have been buying his coffee on a direct relationship basis since 2018. He is a second-generation coffee farmer who has worked for many years as an agronomy consultant both in Rwanda and the Congo.
Coffee Origin
Rwanda 🇷🇼
The majority of the coffee grown in Rwanda comes from Reb Bourbon trees grown on small hold farms and delivered to a local washing station for processing. The picture on the shows the Bwishaza washing station surrounded by farms that include coffee, bananas, cassava and other essential crops.
Processing Method
Anaerobic Natural
The anaerobic natural process is a modern interpretation where whole cherries are fermented in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before drying. This alters microbial activity, often intensifying the fruit character and developing rich, wine-like or spiced notes. Carbonic maceration natural and anaerobic fermentation natural terms are often used interchangeably in coffee.
Coffee Varietal
Bourbon
One of the oldest and most influential arabica varietals, Bourbon traces its origins to the island of Réunion (formerly Bourbon), where it was cultivated from Yemen's Typica stock. It's prized for its complex sweetness, often yielding notes of caramel, fruit, and chocolate. Bourbon tends to be delicate and susceptible to disease, but its cup quality is considered exceptional, and it forms the genetic backbone of many modern varietals.
We clean up after ourselves.
Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support verified projects that remove carbon from the air.
Every delivery’s carbon footprint is calculated based on weight, shipping method, and distance traveled. We neutralize these emissions by purchasing verified carbon removal credits from groundbreaking projects. When you add a contribution to your order, 100% of that money is used to pay for additional carbon removal.
With your purchase, you’ll join a community of proactive merchants and customers dedicated to a sustainable future. Together, we've removed emissions for over 81 million deliveries and removed over 57 thousand tonnes of carbon.
We work with a network of pioneering carbon removal companies that have been vetted by the commerce platform Shopify.
