This 100% Red Bourbon coffee was processed using the natural method at Buf Café’s Umurage washing station. Many of Buf’s natural lots are a blend of lots from their four washing stations. However, this special lot was produced entirely at Umurage, at 1,750 meters above sea level.

Buf Café was founded in 2003 by Epiphanie Mukashyaka, a dynamic businesswoman and a source of inspiration to countless other female entrepreneurs in Rwanda’s coffee sector and beyond. Buf is now managed by Epiphanie and her son, Samuel Muhirwa, who is taking an increasingly active role in running and expanding the business. The title ‘Buf’ derives from ‘Bufundu’, the former name of the region in which its washing stations are located.

We love the love that goes into this coffee and experiment it on cold brew, filter and espresso; the results are unspeakably amazing. We decided to keep a filter roast profile for this coffee because it brings out its best character.
