About
Rwanda Organic and Fairtrade Premium Coffee
Gishamwana Island is located in the middle of Lake Kivu in Rwanda, with more than 28,000 coffee trees are planted dried and milled here as well, completing the production cycle. The island is biodiverse, with cows, goats, and even an albino rabbit coexists with the coffee trees. This island coffee farm is privately owned by Emmanuel Rwakagara, the founder of COOPAC, and the coffee is grown organically amongst forestry that provides a level of shade much greater than is typical for African coffee. Also, by nature of Gishamwana's isolation from other coffee, many diseases and pests quite simply have not made the boat ride over. Gishamwana coffee is the epitome of Rwandan coffee. It has the chocolate, caramel, sweet, cherry tobacco, raisin, fig, berry, and orange notes with a zippy acidity, medium body, and no earthiness. The sweet spot on this coffee is just before the 2nd cracks in order to balance the acidity with sweetness and complexity. First Winner Cup of Excellence 2010 with a score of 90.16 point.
