Rwanda - Jarama Kivu

Notes of Citrus, Brown Sugar and Golden Raisin Bright, sweet, flavorful... an extremely well structured coffee from the shores of Lake Kivu Bright white grape, Meyer lemon and orange burst out of the first sip of this coffee.

Kivubelt was founded by Furaha Umwizey, a native of Rwanda who studied economics in Switzerland. The two mills they operate serve both the Kivubelt Estate and around 500 smallholder farmers from the surrounding area. These smallholder farmers make up the People’s Farm and are assisted in their coffee growing endeavors by Kivubelt. The mills and guidance of Um
