Roast level: Medium-light

Grown in Western Rwanda, this single origin coffee is grown with impeccable care from a select group of highly-skilled women producers. The medium-light roast is full of subtle nuances, with a subtle butterscotch, a rich brownie flavor, and a hint of grapefruit citrus. We love this medium-bodied coffee in a range of brewers, notably as a single origin espresso.

If there is an issue with your order, you can contact us within 30 days of purchase to resolve. If you simply do not like the coffee, we cannot offer a refund. Please gift the coffee to someone who may enjoy it!

Building community around quality coffee

The women of the Agasake Women's group are made up of 265 members. These women are selected to join this group once they've shown exellence in their farming practices and quality in coffee. This group is a subset of a larger group, but can sell their coffee directly under their own name and management.

This coffee earns a premium from its quality alone, but the group also earns a bonus per lb sold in addition to the base price. This is paid by the importer and the roaster, reenforcing the skill and care these women commit to year after year.

We categorize roast level per general terms, and are subject to our opinion. Visual difference may not be detectable. Lighter roasts will have more nuanced flavors and higher acidity, medium roasts will have a balanced body, and darker roasts will have a richer and fuller body.

Please select the closest option for pre-ground coffee:
Fine for espresso
Medium for drip and pour overs
Coarse for french press or cold brew.

For a more dialed in grind, we highly recommend purchasing a burr grinder for best results. 

We roast weekly, and label each bag with the roast date for your reference. We recommend brewing within 3 months of the roast date for best results, and optimal flavor extraction we recommend brewing 2-4 weeks post roast date, depending on the bean and brew method.

We ship all orders via USPS Ground. Orders are shipped typically 1-3 days from order date unless fresh beans need to be roasted. We roast on a weekly basis, so orders could take up to 5 days to ship. Email us with any questions or concerns! hello@sweltercoffee.com
