We are all super-happy with this coffee. It has been named by the 300 ladies of Hingakawa who grow the coffee on Burimba Hill above their farm. Organically grown and part of the more well-known Abakundakawa Cooperative, this is perhaps one of the finest microlot natural process coffees you will ever taste from Rwanda.

This coffee is another partnership between Jones Brothers Coffee and This Side Up coffees, who work closely with farms and co-operatives around the world to help them with programmes to improve the quality of their processing and preparation at the farm and ultimately the value of their crops.

We are delighted to have met the ladies of the Hingakawa who grow this coffee and proudly gave it its name “Burimba Hill”, one of the coffee mountains overlooking the village of Rutabo.

Listen to Jacqueline, the president of this group of 300 women talking about the what coffee is to themand how they care about quality.

A classic high-grade coffee from Rwanda! This red bourbon varietal is shade grown and sun dried allowing this naturally sweeter bean to mature for longer. This delivers so many complex and unusual flavour possibilities that every drink is a brilliant experience.

This is a bright, medium acidity coffee. I detect a faint orange blossom and citrus aroma with notes of jasmin and rose. The buttery body illuminates my palate with flavours of milk chocolate, cinnamon, plum and fresh tea leaves, which carry over into the aftertaste. A real delight in a cup.
