This curated pairing offers a unique sensory journey through Rwanda's coffee potential. Experience how processing methods transform the same carefully cultivated coffee cherries into two distinct expressions. The fully washed coffee showcases bright clarity and structured elegance, while the natural process reveals a luscious, fruit-forward complexity. Together, they tell the complete story of Rwandan coffee at its finest.

The Kilimbi washing station represents the innovative spirit driving Rwanda's emergence as a specialty coffee powerhouse. Despite being established only in 2016, Kilimbi immediately made its mark by placing in that year's Cup of Excellence competition. Under the guidance of station manager Joseph Ntarindwa, an experienced agronomist with extensive processing knowledge, Kilimbi became the first station in Rwanda authorized to export both natural and honey processed coffees.

The 750 smallholder farmers who deliver cherry to Kilimbi cultivate their Bourbon variety trees on the mineral-rich slopes of Rwanda's Western Province at elevations between 1,650-1,850 meters. This ideal growing environment, combined with Kilimbi's meticulous processing protocols, creates the perfect conditions for exceptional coffee.

This bundle celebrates not just the remarkable quality of Rwandan coffee, but also the transformative power of processing. By experiencing these coffees side by side, you'll develop a deeper appreciation for how the journey from cherry to cup shapes what we taste in the final brew. It's an educational experience that's as delicious as it is enlightening—a true coffee lover's exploration of flavor, terroir, and craft.
