Mahembe

Summary

Mahembe is a washed coffee from the Nyamasheke region of Rwanda. The producer is Justin Musabyimana, who opened his own processing station in 2010 on his father's coffee plantation. He also purchases cherries from approximately 500 local smallholder farmers whose farms are located at 1700-1900 meters altitude. The Bourbon variety coffee is harvested in May-June, sorted in washing channels, spontaneously fermented in tanks, washed, dried in shade, hand-sorted by quality, and further dried on raised beds covered with canvas during the hottest hours and at night to protect against temperature fluctuations. Flavour notes include rosehip, cranberry, and lime.
