Honey Hinga Kawa

A Juicy Honey Processed Coffee From The Gakenke Region

This exceptional honey processed reserve series coffee comes to us from the Hinga Kawa Cooperative in Rwanda’s Gakenke District. This year, Amavida was able to bring in three different processing methods from the same producer group (Honey, Natural and Washed). This honey processed, fair trade/ organic certified lot is bursting with notes of nougat, raisin and apricot. It is a beautiful representation of the distinct flavor profile we associate with this processing method, paired with some amazing tropical fruit flavors distinct to this growing region. 

Founded in 2004, the Hinga Kawa Cooperative has always strived to consistently improve their quality. Growing almost exclusively Red Bourbon variety of coffee trees, the group consists of 2017 members (916 women) with farms at elevations ranging from 1600-2200 meters. The cooperative owns two washing stations, where farmers can bring their harvested coffee cherries for processing.

The Bottom Line

This honey processed Rwanda from the Hinga Kawa cooperative is a sweet, full bodied addition to our reserve series line up. We are tasting notes of nougat, raisin and apricot in what may be your new favorite coffee this spring, 

Thanks to our friends at Cooperative Coffees for helping us highlight the producers of this limited release coffee at Gakenke in Rwanda.
