1000 Hills Blend, Kigali, Rwanda | Washed MUK-8167

In Rwanda, “The Land of a Thousand Hills,” Inzovu is a coffee produced by farmers partnered with the Rwanda Trading Company (RTC). Inzovu translates to “elephant” – the brand image for RTC – an animal that perfectly embodies the exotic flavours of Rwandan coffee. This fully washed Rwandan coffee is a blend of the best beans from smallholder growers around Kigali, capturing the region’s diverse yet complementary flavour profiles. By sourcing from multiple stations, Inzovu ensures a consistent product that highlights the unique qualities of Rwandan coffee year after year. It’s a community-driven effort: farmers work together, receive training to improve their coffee, and earn a sustainable living. RTC has been supporting growers in the region by teaching improved farming methods, purchasing cherries at fair prices, and investing in local communities. They are currently planting 5 million new coffee seedlings to secure the future of Rwandan coffee. On farms averaging 1,700–2,000 masl, around 400,000 farmers work with RTC to mill, process, market, and export cherries grown across Rwanda’s famous landlocked, hilly terrain. After nine years of providing agronomy training, RTC is now rejuvenating older farms and has donated approximately 5 million seedlings across numerous locations. Processing: Inzovu beans undergo a full wash process, which highlights their bright, clean flavour. The high-altitude conditions and rich volcanic soils of the Nyakabuye region contribute to the beans’ complexity and refinement. After harvesting, the coffee is hulled, graded, and hand-sorted at the Rwanda Trading Company facility in Kigali.
