Tasting Notes of Tinned Pineapple and Purple Grape

The Dukunde Kawa cooperative has once again blown us away with this vibrant, tropical, and seriously stunning coffee. While most specialty coffee in Rwanda is washed, Dukunde Kawa takes a bold approach with this anaerobic natural processed lot, and the results are something special. The cherries for this lot come from around 320 cooperative members, who tend small plots around Ruli washing station. Grown at high altitudes in mineral-rich soil, the cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness, ensuring they’re packed with sugar and flavour. The anaerobic processing, where coffee cherries ferment without oxygen, brings out a vibrant and wild flavour profile, adding depth, sparkle, and tropical fruit complexity - think tinned pineapple sweetness with juicy purple grape. Last year, Dukunde Kawa introduced us to our first-ever natural processed Rwandan coffee, and this year, we’re thrilled to share Ruli Anaerobic with you.
