A vibrant and layered coffee, balancing sweetness and intensity

In the heart of Rwanda's Gakenke region, Marfak AFRE is born, a lot produced by Emmanuel Rusatira at Muzo Washing Station.
This area, characterized by high altitudes and stable climatic conditions, allows the Red Bourbon variety to express a rich, complex, and dynamic aromatic profile.

The result is an intense yet elegant cup, where sweetness and structure blend with clear aromatic definition.

During extraction, notes of strawberry and red plum emerge, followed by tropical nuances of mango.
The sweetness recalls honey and maple syrup, while the floral finish of rose adds depth and refinement.

A juicy, enveloping, and layered cup, with persistent sweetness and soft acidity.

Anaerobic Natural Sleeping Bag: controlled intensity

The Anaerobic Natural Sleeping Bag process represents a modern method that combines controlled fermentation and precise drying.

After careful selection of the cherries, the coffee is fermented in an anaerobic environment, meaning in the absence of oxygen.
This phase allows for the development of more intense aromas, increasing complexity and amplifying the fruity component.

Subsequently, the cherries are dried outdoors using the Sleeping Bag technique, which ensures stability and uniformity during drying.

This approach guarantees a balance between aromatic intensity, sweetness, and cleanliness, preventing excessive fermentation and preserving the profile's definition.

The result is a rich yet controlled cup, where each note is clear and discernible.

Baho Coffee: vision, quality, and social impact

Emmanuel Rusatira is the founder of Baho Coffee, an enterprise established in 2016 with the goal of enhancing Rwanda's potential through high-quality coffee.

After over 15 years of experience in the sector, he has developed a network of washing stations in different regions of the country, working closely with local producers.

The name "Baho" means to live, to be strong, and to overcome difficulties, values that guide the project from both a human and productive perspective.

The purchase of this coffee also contributes to local projects, including initiatives related to breast cancer prevention in Rwanda, strengthening the link between quality and social impact.

Rwanda: precision and aromatic identity

Rwanda is currently one of the most interesting origins in the specialty coffee scene, thanks to high altitudes, temperate climate, and the Bourbon variety.
