Rwanda

Rwandan coffee beans create a delicious and refreshing coffee, with exceptional aromas of chocolate, tobacco and aniseed. The body is light, with a fruity and complex acidity comparable to that of its more prestigious Kenyan neighbours. The beans have, in the past, been overlooked by many roasters and drinkers, but not here at Pollards, as we know they create a delicious any-time brew, with a light body and complex acidity. Surprisingly, the production of Rwandan coffee only started in 1904, when German missionaries introduced it to the country. The good natural growing conditions, allied with high quality coffee cultivars, has resulted in Rwanda producing some excellent and yet underrated coffee beans. The Rwandan beans also undergo a full wash, which helps to emphasise their fine acidity.
