The journey

From hillside to cup.

  1. Ripe red coffee cherries with dew on a branch

    Picked ripe on the high hills.

  2. Coffee drying on raised beds at a hillside washing station at dawn, mist over the hills

    Washed, then dried slowly on raised beds.

  3. Freshly roasted beans tumbling from a drum roaster into the cooling tray

    Roasted in small batches in Kigali.
