You don't need to be a child of the 70's to get in on this funk!
This is an exceptional fruity and funky take on a 72 hour natural anaerobic coffee grown by our partners at Baho Coffee, who wish to use this coffee to combat an ever growing bias in speciality coffee, that only microlots can best represent a region's coffee and terroir.
Enter this Ukuri lot. Ukuri or truth, in Kinyarwanda, is a lot conceived of by Emmanuel from Baho Coffee, on the premise that, while he identifies with and appreciates the push towards great traceability as long as it provides increased recognition and support for the grower, he also holds the firm conviction that Rwandese coffee is inherently great.
And here's the thing, we've had the honour of roasting some rare and rewarding Rwandan microlots from Baho (like Superfly, Regine, and others), and they are great. We aren't taking away from the importance of microlots, but this coffee proves that small blended lots, as long as traceable and when the farmers are fairly paid, can be INCREDIBLE!
