Kinini Village - Washed Rwanda

This lot from Kinini Village is every expressive and juicy and lends itself to being one of our favorite offerings to brew as a pour over or a flash brew.  

Kinini roughly translates to "that big thing right here". Jacqueline Turner founded Kinini Village in 2014 by leasing unused land, distributing free seedlings, and paying farmers years before the plants began producing fruit. Now, Kinini brings together hundreds of smallholder farmers and provides centralized processing and market access with incredible traceability and consistency. Many of the coffees produced at Kinini are women-led microlots. Seraphina, Kinini’s farmer liaison, leads gender equity training, which resulted in the formation of women-led subgroups within the cooperative. These sub-groups organize collectively, reinvest premiums into their farms, and advocate for shared needs within the cooperative. This lot specifically comes from the 24 women in the Abateranankunga ("Supporters") sub-group.

We taste notes of: Cranberry, Passionfruit, and Watermelon Rind
