Rwanda Specialty Arabica Coffee Beans

Name: Rwanda Specialty 100% Arabica - Fresh Coffee Beans
Brand: Café du Jour

This coffee hails from the Simbi coffee processing plant, nestled in the Huye district of Rwanda's southern province.

Simbi is managed by Abdul, who was inspired to dive into the coffee scene by his grandmother. She was a coffee farmer herself and one of the few in rural Rwanda who roasted and enjoyed her own coffee as part of her daily rituals. The processing plant was constructed between 2011 and 2012.

It officially kicked off operations in 2013 with a team of 85, 80 per cent of whom were women. In that same year, they threw their hat in the ring for the Rwanda Cup of Excellence for the first time, making an impressive debut by finishing 9th out of 159 entries.

We roast the coffee ourselves at a fairly modest temperature, but it darkens a bit sooner than most coffees, so it still ranks as a medium roast. You'll catch notes of chocolate and stone fruit, with a slightly fruity finish lingering on the palate.

For those in the know: SCA score of 84.25.

Customer Questions

What is the roast date?

The roast date of Café du Jour's coffee beans is usually a maximum of four weeks before dispatch. This means that the coffee beans are generally no older than four weeks when they arrive at your door. Many people ask if coffee beans are already too old after three weeks. The answer to that is: no. Freshly roasted coffee actually reaches its best flavour after a few weeks. During roasting, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is created inside the coffee beans, which can mask the taste at first. That is why coffee is at its best between one and four weeks after roasting. After roasting, the beans are immediately packed in special coffee bags with a one-way valve. This valve allows CO₂ to escape without letting oxygen in, so the aromas are preserved and the coffee remains fresh. This way, you can count on an optimally fresh product with a full flavour!
