Coffee from Africa
Rwanda Gisanga Natural
Melon, Marmalade, and Buckwheat Honey
African coffee is not just history – it is the cradle of Arabica coffee. It was in Ethiopia that the coffee tradition began, which today spans the entire continent. African coffee is renowned for its intense aromas, complex acidity, and fruity notes, which are hard to find in coffees from other parts of the world.
The most important producers of African coffee include Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, and Burundi.
Ethiopia – boasts a wealth of local heirloom varieties, often with jasmine, tea, or peach profiles.
Kenya – is famous for notes of blackcurrant, red fruits, and orange-like acidity.
Rwanda and Burundi – offer coffees with a gentler acidity, featuring notes of peach, honey, and cinnamon.
