INTRO

A punchy, syrupy opener to Rwanda season from the Gitega washing station in Nyamagabe. Red apple and singing acidity up front, peach stonefruit through the middle, and a short, clean hibiscus finish — big, bold, and loud in the best possible way.

THE PRODUCER

Gitega 861 is a washing station lot from Nyamagabe, collecting ripe Red Bourbon cherries from multiple smallholder farmers across the region. Sourced through Falcon, it carries all the hallmarks of great Rwandan coffee — high tactile mouthfeel, intense flavour, and that characteristic hibiscus tartness in the finish.

THE PROCESS

Washed. Ripe Red Bourbon cherries from smallholder farmers across Nyamagabe are processed at the Gitega station, fermented and thoroughly washed to produce the clean, vibrant clarity that makes this lot sing.

THE CUP

Intense, juicy, and deeply satisfying — Gitega 861 is a statement of intent for Rwanda season. The kind of coffee that announces itself immediately and keeps rewarding with every cup.
