Our first release of a few offerings from the recent (impressive) Rwanda Season, Giko Hill is a washed bourbon from the Gakenke district from the Muzo washing station.

In the cup we get bright citrus like tangerine and lemon, black tea and florals, plum like sweetness and a slight mulled spice.

Muzo CWS is nestled into the crevices of rolling hills near the heart of Rwanda. This station is the smallest in the Baho collection, and is near and dear to Emmanuel as the source of some of his most beautiful coffees. Average temperatures here are higher and the rainfall is lower, with altitudes that top out at a soaring 2100masl. All of these factors likely play a part in the intensely sweet and tropical fruit flavoured coffees that come through the stations.
