RWANDA KININI WOMEN 250G
Rwanda Kinini Women is our first selection from KCRS - Cooperative Coffee Rusiga Sector - a women-led cooperative developed around the Kinini Washing Station in the Rulindo region. The coffee comes from small family-run farms located between 1,800 and 2,500 metres above sea level. Around 85% of the cooperative’s growers cultivate plots above 2,000 metres, a setting that contributes to the refined and clearly defined character of this lot. Coffee is only one part of a much more diverse agricultural ecosystem.
On these smallholder plots, coffee trees are often grown alongside legumes, beans, sweet potatoes and other crops, with each family cultivating an average of six different plants. This approach helps spread income throughout the year while also providing food for the farmers’ own households.
KCRS was created after several women who were already supplying coffee cherries to Kinini asked for support in organising themselves into a cooperative. With the help of Jacquie Turner, the paperwork was put in place and the members were divided into 12 local groups based on the villages closest to them. This structure makes training sessions easier to access and encourages farmers to support one another when challenges arise on individual plots. While some male family members may also be involved, the women have taken ownership of the land and responsibility for the coffee production.
This lot is composed of BM71 and Jackson varieties, two Bourbon-related varieties with a distinctive history in East Africa. BM71 reached Rwanda through Puerto Rico and the Mulungu germplasm collection, while Jackson traces its origins back to India; both are valued for their quality potential at high altitudes. It undergoes a more elaborate fully washed process. After pulping, the coffee is dry-fermented for approximately 24 hours, followed by a traditional wet fermentation and a final soaking stage of around 24 hours. It is an approach closely associated with Kenyan-style processing, designed to enhance clarity, structure and aromatic definition.
The result is a bright and elegant omniroast with notes of bergamot and chamomile, layered with red fruits and the comforting sweetness of brown sugar. A balanced and expressive coffee, but also a first introduction to the story of KCRS and the women who have shaped it.
