This time we present to you Rwanda Vunga, if you have been following us from the start you will notice that this was one of our first ever releases when we started our journey. It's a pleasure to shine light back on this amazing cooperative on this years harvest. 

Vunga Cooperative is  a small but vibrant community of farmers dedicated to producing high-quality coffee. Led by President Uwimana Daphrose, the cooperative has formed a partnership with Muraho Trading Co, which provides export and financing capabilities to help them increase their quality and reach new markets.

This cooperative showcases the unique terroir of Rwanda. The coffee is grown, harvested, and processed with care, resulting in a complex and nuanced flavour profile. The processing method involves washing, fermentation in concrete tanks, and drying in parchment, which brings out the coffee's distinct characteristics.

This coffee offers a distinct flavour profile depending on the brewing method. When brewed as a filter coffee, it reveals notes of hibiscus tea and cranberries, with a light mouthfeel and juicy finish. As an espresso, it transforms into a rich and intense shot with notes of naartjie, citrus acidity, and sweet dried cranberry. In milk-based drinks, it takes on a light and fluffy texture, reminiscent of pancakes.
