The Kanzu washing station is housed within the Nyamasheke district of Rwanda’s Western province. Coffee cherries processed there are first floated to remove defects and then pulped. The coffee is fermented dry for 16-18 hours, wet fermented for 18 hours, and finally placed on meshed raised beds to promote even drying. This gem boasts characteristics reminding us of orange Startbursts and carries a sweetness so long lasting, it may as well pay rent.
Imported by Red Fox Coffee Merchants
Kanzu is roasted on Thursday and ships Friday-Tuesday. To ensure the freshest possible product, orders placed after Tuesday during a given roast week will be roasted and shipped by the end of the week.
