Species: 100% Arabica Region: Northern Province Variety: Bourbon Red Altitude: 2000 - 2200m Harvest: March - May Harvest Type: Manual Process: Natural Drying: Drying Bed ABOUT This Bourbon Red is produced by the Dukunde Kawa cooperative in the hills of northwest Rwanda. Mbilima is one of the cooperative's four washing stations. The natural Mbilima coffee that we present to you is a selection of the ripest and fruitiest coffees harvested by the cooperative. The selected cherries are sun-dried with the skin on, for 50 to 60 days, depending on the weather. During harvest, producers sort their coffee by flotation, to remove the less dense beans. Then the selected cherries are sorted again by density. All the lighter beans are removed from the selection and will contribute to the production of lower quality, fully washed coffee, which will be sold on the local market. During the drying process, workers regularly turn the berries and continue to sort the cherries until the drying is even, keeping only the best of the best.
