Dark chocolate, dried fruit, nutty cocoa, and a thread of anise. Grown at 1,795 meters on the volcanic slopes of Rwanda's Gakenke district, washed processing, Bourbon cultivar.
The cooperative
Abakundakawa was registered in 2004 starting with 180 farmers. Today it's nearly 2,000 members strong, running two of their own washing stations. The co-op pays dividends back to its members and reinvests in local infrastructure — including funding a clean water project for a nearby hospital. Through a partnership with an NGO, members also receive dairy cows, a direct investment in household food security. It's organic-certified and Fair Trade at the producer level, not just a label on the bag.
This specific lot
This is a Women's Lot - grown and processed by members of Abakundakawa's two women's associations, Duhingekawa and Abanyameraka. Beyond coffee, these associations run a tailoring center and income-training programs, building economic resilience that doesn't depend on a single harvest. We're buying the Women's Lot designation as it's structured by our green coffee supplier; we don't have farmer-level wage data yet, and we'll add it if and when we do.
