Maraba Coop - Rwanda

Maraba Coop  Taste Story This washed lot from Rwanda is vibrant and delicate. Immediately you’ll be greeted with tropical sensations like guava, and pineapple.

Throughout its drying period the coffee is manually rotated to promote even drying.  Farmer Profile This coffee is the result of the dedication of resilient women of the Huye region of Rwanda.
