This natural Red Bourbon comes from the Kinazi Coffee Washing Station , in the Huye Hills district (Southern Province of Rwanda), at altitudes between 1,800 and 2,200 meters above sea level. The station, founded in 2016 by Abdul Rudahunga—inspired by his grandmother's passion for growing and roasting coffee—now serves around 750 smallholder farmers in the region and has won awards at Rwanda's Cup of Excellence competitions.

The Natural Process
After selective hand-picking, the whole drupes are placed on raised African beds to dry strictly in the shade for about 20 days. Only when optimal humidity is reached are they hulled, revealing beans of extraordinary quality.

The Red Bourbon Variety
Red Bourbon represents 95% of Rwandan production: a historic Arabica variety, prized for its complex aromatic profiles, lively yet balanced acidity, and delicate floral and fruity notes. Bourbon plants produce fewer fruits than other varieties, but they are of superior quality, with a high bean density that ensures uniform roasting.

Sensory Profile
In the cup, blackberry, nutmeg, and muscovado emerge with an intense natural sweetness and a medium-full body. The medium acidity (3/5) perfectly balances the sweetness (4/5) and complexity (4/5), offering a rich sensory experience that recalls red fruits, sweet spices, and unrefined cane sugar.

Picapau Coffee Roastery
A Roman artisan roaster specializing in specialty coffee, Picapau selects high-altitude microlots from certified producers, prioritizing direct relationships with growing communities. The roasting process respects the distinctive characteristics of each origin, enhancing the beans' sensory potential.
