Sourced from the rugged, volcanic highlands of Rwanda’s Gakenke District, this exceptional natural Bourbon comes from Nkara washing station, part of the renowned Dukunde Kawa cooperative. Grown by 226 smallholder farmers at soaring elevations of 1,800–2,100 masl near Volcanoes National Park, this coffee reflects the power of origin, altitude, and meticulous processing. Carefully hand-sorted and sun-dried on raised African beds for up to 45 days, Nkara delivers the vibrant fruit intensity and sweetness that Rwanda’s natural coffees are celebrated for—showcasing an exciting, high-performance cup from one of Africa’s most compelling specialty origins.

But this coffee’s impact goes far beyond the cup. Dukunde Kawa is Fairtrade certified and majority female-led, with 80% of its producers being women. Through sustainable coffee production, the cooperative has helped double farmer incomes, fund schools, improve housing, and create long-term economic resilience across the region. Every purchase supports a model where premium coffee drives genuine social progress—making this not just an outstanding Rwandan coffee, but a powerful example of sourcing with conviction.
