Shyira Rwanda

£18.00

Built in 2017 the Shyira washing station collects coffee from the highest points in Rwanda, of altitudes between 2000-2400 masl, making these coffees some of the most unique. Combining that with this Yellow bourbon variety is a recipe for good things indeed.

BUYING STANDARDS

It’s really important for us to work with trusted partners in our supply chain who can provide us with honesty and traceability. We have created a set of guidelines to help us source coffee in a way we feel aligns with our values and beliefs. There are three core categories that we think outline the most important factors to consider when purchasing coffee: economic transparency, social relationship, and environmental efforts.

OUR PACKAGING

Our 250g bags and 1kg bags are LDPE 4 packaging, a type of soft plastic, very common in food packaging. For home consumers LDPE 4 is still not curbside recyclable, but is accepted at local recycling points and dedicated soft plastics deposit points. Find a location near you.

ROASTING ON RENEWABLE ENERGY

We’ve recently switched to a new electric Typhoon roaster which allows us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. We selected it for its capacity, efficiency, and to maintain the same high-quality roasting. This transition also marks a step toward our long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral, with a commitment to using 100% renewable electricity. Though the installation required a significant investment in new power infrastructure, the move reinforces our dedication to sustainability and strengthens our promise to customers that we deliver on our environmental commitments.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Rwanda

A country we buy from annually; coffee from these luscious, jungle covered mountains has a unique tea-like quality. Producers in Rwanda have persevered through political turbulence at the turn of the century, and are now one of the most sought after origins in specialty coffee.

Smallholders of Shyira

In 2018, a selection of seeds were introduced to a nursery in the town of Shyira in Nyabihu District, Rwanda. All coffees have since been developed and processed at Shyira coffee washing station, which is managed by Muraho Trading Co, our partners in Rwanda. The aim of the tests is to diversify coffee production in Rwanda, to mitigate against climate impacts and improve both yields and income for Rwandan farmers. In a country where the Red bourbon is dominant this is especially important.

This little lot is a beautiful one, bright, expressive and a pure joy to drink. A sign of promising things to come.

Environmental Effort

Regenerative Farming

Regenerative farming is a holistic approach to actively improving the ecosystem health of the whole farm. From the depths of the soil to the tips of the trees, and all species of flora and fauna in the middle, regenerative farming prioritises the ecosystem health over coffee production and yield.
