Rwanda Rushashi - BURIMBA HILL

High in the hills of northern Rwanda, above the village of Rutabo, you’ll find Burimba Hill — and at its heart, a remarkable community of 300 women who grow something truly special. These are the ladies of Hingakawa, and they didn’t just produce this coffee — they named it too. That sense of pride and ownership runs deep in every bean they harvest.

Part of the respected Abakundakawa Cooperative, this coffee is naturally processed — a rare microlot that showcases the richness of its red bourbon varietal. Shade-grown and sun-dried, the beans are given time to mature slowly, developing a sweetness and complexity that’s hard to find and even harder to forget.

This is more than just great coffee — it’s the result of collaboration, care, and shared values. We’re proud to bring it to you through our partnership with This Side Up, who work hand-in-hand with farmers and cooperatives to improve quality at the source and help secure a better future for their communities.

A rare find — and one we’re honoured to share.

We love it best as a filter — smooth, balanced, and packed with nuance. But it’s just as happy pulling bold espresso shots or pairing with your favourite milk-based drinks. However you brew, it won’t disappoint.
