Our Thoughts The Nyamasheke coffee region in Rwanda, located in the western part of the country along the shores of Lake Kivu, is renowned for its high-quality Arabica coffee, particularly Bourbon varieties. The area's volcanic soil, high altitude (1,500–2,000 meters), and temperate climate create ideal growing conditions, resulting in coffee with bright acidity, complex fruit notes, and a smooth body. Smallholder farmers, often organized into cooperatives, dominate production, and the region has gained international recognition for its sustainable practices and contributions to Rwanda's growing specialty coffee industry.

Ordered the new blend and it is fantastic, the flavor and depth of notes is amazing! I’ve tried it both cold brew and hot French press and both are fantastic!

New and refreshing :)
I love that Birch Coffee always brings something new - this Rwanda Nyamsheke is refreshing but has a good balance of aroma and acidity. Good one!

Another delicious coffee from Birch
After trying their delectable Ethiopian Yigracheffe - which had a great balance of nuttiness and acidity - I had to give their other African coffee a shot. This Rwandan Nyamashke was a different beast, with unapologetically floral notes bursting everywhere, perfect for mid/late Spring!

Very good, nutty and earthy, not overpowering. Dry finish.
