The Summit of High-Altitude Farming.
We are thrilled to introduce Fugi Kiyonza Hill, our second ever Rwandan coffee release. Cultivated at a staggering 1,900 - 2,000 meters above sea level, this striking single-origin perfectly illustrates why extreme elevations produce such extraordinary coffees. The high-altitude environment slows the maturation of the cherries, creating exceptionally dense beans that yield bright, complex acidity. Expect a wonderfully vibrant and structured cup that bursts with bright cherry tomato and lime zest before settling into a crisp, refreshing finish.
Consciously Sourced, Humanely Driven:
The renowned Fugi station continues to be a celebrated hub for processing innovation under the visionary leadership of owner Emmanuel Rusatira and veteran station manager Aphrodise Munyangaju. This specific lot was meticulously cultivated by a dedicated collective of just 60 smallholder farmers on Kiyonza Hill. Growing traditional 25 year old Red Bourbon trees on these steep, high-elevation micro-lots requires immense labor and care. Purchasing Fugi Kiyonza Hill directly supports these smallholder families, rewarding their unwavering commitment to flawless cherry selection and sustainable, high-altitude farming.
