Rulindo Tumba
Tumba shows a moderate level of acidity when roasted light, with aspects of black tea and a spritz of lemon that bring out a brisk, mouth cleansing finish.
Tumba is situated at 1825 meters in the Rulindo district. We are excited to bring you our first coffee out of Rwanda. A local teacher in the Tumba area for which the mill is named, took over all aspects of the private processing mill from two owners that had very different ideas about quality. Venustre Mugraneza, the teacher, is esteemed in the local community and has been systematically improving the mill.
