Our Rwanda Abadatezuka is a 2026 Best of the Year Award Winner. 🏆
Sixteen testers brewed it in their own kitchens, and a panel of chefs and experts in nutrition, sustainability and packaging reviewed it. One judge called it "hot cocoa with a coffee buzz." It was grown by the producer-owned Abadatezuka Cooperative at 2,200 meters in Rwanda's Nyungwe Forest and roasted low and slow in small batches here in Denver.
The catch? You loved it first. Rwanda is sold out for the year. 💜
If it stole your heart, here's where to go next:
🍎 Autumn Blend. New today, and your closest taste of Rwanda this season. Candied apple and praline, made with naturally processed coffees from Costa Rica and Rwanda.
🌸 Women's Coffee Project, Peru. For fans of Rwanda's sweetness. Red apple, sugar cane and a hint of citrus, grown by 110 women-led farming families in Cajamarca.
🍓 Gesha Monte de Oro. Ready for something brighter? Raspberry and lychee with a strawberry cream finish. Our most extraordinary single origin, from Mario Alarcón's farm in Acatenango, Guatemala.
