Description
Agaseke - named after a traditional Rwandan basket with a pointed lid, traditionally used for gift-giving - is a relatively new group of 265 female farmers, and is part of the larger KOPAKAKI Cooperative. The most quality-driven female members of the cooperative organized into their own group in 2018, and together with the larger cooperative, focuses on helping its members produce better coffee and attain higher pricing.
One of the reasons we love Rwandan coffee is that the Lake Kivu area is planted almost entirely in Bourbon, a coffee variety that lends a deep, sugary, syrupy sweetness. Variety, rich red clay soil, meticulous picking and sorting, and careful processing all work together to layer that sweetness with sparkling acidity complexity.
Agaseke brings a combination of fruit-driven acidity and deep sweetness to the lineup. We're tasting cranberry, brown sugar, lemon, a peachiness that's more like peach ring candy than the actual fruit, and just a touch of baking spice. Tasty stuff, and we're looking to roast this delicious, women-produced coffee for the next few months.
