The Coffee... Full-bodied and syrupy smooth, this lot from the farmers in the Southwestern Rwandan highlands offers buttery, luscious notes of honey, citrus, and fig.

 

The Community... Nyakizu is a community in the region of Butare, in southern Rwanda not far from the Burundian border. Coffee producers here have incredibly small farms, even by Rwandan standards, sometimes growing only a few dozen trees behind their traditional thatched-roof houses.
