Agasake's Rwanda | Medium-Light Roast
Roast level: Medium-light
Tasting notes: Butterscotch, fudge brownie, grapefruit
Single Origin: West, Karongi district, Rwanda
Grown in Western Rwanda, this single origin coffee is grown with impeccable care from a select group of highly-skilled women producers. The medium-light roast is full of subtle nuances, with a subtle butterscotch, a rich brownie flavor, and a hint of grapefruit citrus. We love this medium-bodied coffee in a range of brewers, notably as a single origin espresso.
We ship all orders via USPS Ground. Orders are shipped typically 1-3 days from order date unless fresh beans need to be roasted. We roast on a weekly basis, so orders could take up to 5 days to ship. Email us with any questions or concerns! hello@sweltercoffee.com

Building community around quality coffee
The women of the Agasake Women's group are made up of 265 members. These women are selected to join this group once they've shown exellence in their farming practices and quality in coffee. This group is a subset of a larger group, but can sell their coffee directly under their own name and management.
This coffee earns a premium from its quality alone, but the group also earns a bonus per lb sold in addition to the base price. This is paid by the importer and the roaster, reenforcing the skill and care these women commit to year after year.
