Dukunde Kawa (whose name translates to “Love Coffee”) is a pioneering cooperative in Rwanda that makes a point of investing in infrastructure and training. Their goal is to produce exceptional quality coffee and find ways to support their members through a lifetime – not just a season – of sustainable coffee production. We’re so proud to have worked with them for 16 consecutive years – ever since we first opened our doors at Market Lane.
Ruli is the first washing station that was built by Dukunde Kawa, and today it’s home to a café, a Women’s community building, and a brand-new early childhood development centre. Each of these buildings provide important amenity to the cooperative members and stand as a testament to the cooperative’s commitment to long-term, community-driven progress.
This particular lot is composed of peaberries grown by 180 small-scale farmers. Peaberries are small round beans that are sometimes formed inside of a coffee cherry (instead of a pair of beans that have flattened facing sides) and separated out during milling. Rwandan peaberries are celebrated for their excellent, bold character, and this one is no exception: it’s juicy and sweet, with bright floral aromatics and notes of red grape and cola.
