Rwanda, Nova Akeza (Washed)

Nova Coffee was founded in 2015 by the wife and husband power duo, Agnes Mukamushinja and Felix Hitayezu. They have been producing coffee as farmers for over 25 years, and now, they support 2880 small holder coffee farmers in their community including 382 female farmers, producing 153 tonnes of specialty grade red bourbon coffee, with plans in place to increase that production to 230 tonnes by 2025.

The Nova Akeza lot is grown and produced by the youth in the community who are given the chance to find work when they do not have opportunity to secondary school education.

We 're loving this coffee for it's smooth and silky texture. It's amazingly sweet and clean with a delicate mandarin fragrance and subtle acidity.
