All lots sold from the United Kingdom. All prices are for the entire lot, not price per kilo.

At present, the almost ubiquitous variety in Rwanda is Red Bourbon. This is an exciting and rare opportunity to examine the relationship between a coffee variety and its terroir.

Typica is a variety who's height is a distinctive trait, commonly reaching over 5 metres tall. It’s branches are spread wide apart up the petite trunk. This separation of branches means compared to bushier varieties it is quite low yielding. It’s height is accompanied by distinctive bronze tinged leaves, and it is very comfortable at low temperatures, making it suited to the altitudes of Shyira, around 2,000 MASL.

All cherry for this lot was hand-sorted and then floated. Once the cherry was meticulously sorted and cleaned, the cherries were laid out evenly across raised beds, providing consistent airflow. The cherry was dried for 30 days, turned constantly when the sun was high, and covered overnight.
