Burera

Summary

Burera is a single-origin coffee from the Burera district in Rwanda, bordering Volcanoes National Park. Grown at 2,000–2,050 masl, this coffee is produced by farmers of the Cooperative Igire Muhinzi wa Kawa (CIMK) as part of a project initiated by Impexcor manager Oreste Baragohoma to introduce coffee cultivation to vegetable farmers. The coffee undergoes washed processing and features varieties including Bourbon Mayaguez 71 & 139, Jackson, and RAB C15. The cup profile offers black currant, tropical fruit notes, and a juicy mouthfeel. The coffee is sourced through Ikawa House, an exporting business focused on quality control and market access for Rwandan washing stations.
