Rwanda Abadatezuka | Single Origin Coffee

Single origin

Type: Whole bean

$24.00

Rwanda Abadatezuka is an award-winning single origin coffee from Rwanda's Nyungwe Forest: a 2026 Best of the Year Award winner, rated 92 points by Coffee Review. Grown at 2,200 meters, bee-pollinated and naturally processed, it tastes of raspberry jam, Malbec and cacao nib.

The Abadatezuka Cooperative farms deep in the Nyungwe Forest, where native honeybees pollinate the coffee blossoms, volcanic soil feeds the roots and a cool, lake-influenced climate slows ripening. Each cherry is hand-picked and dried whole in the sun, concentrating its jammy, wine-like sweetness. The cooperative grows without synthetic inputs. We roast it light-medium in Denver to keep every note.

Why We Love This - Rwanda Women's Co-Op Single Origin Coffee

At 2,200 meters, coffee cherries take their time — and you'll taste every slow, intentional moment in the cup. The high elevation concentrates natural sugars inside the fruit, and the natural process amplifies those wine-like, jammy notes into something genuinely special. This is the kind of single origin coffee that makes you stop mid-sip and just... pause.

Brewing Inspiration

Lavender Roasting Method

Our Rwanda Abadatezuka is a light-medium roast single origin coffee from a women's cooperative in Rwanda's Nyungwe Forest — naturally processed at 2,200 meters and bee-pollinated for a truly one-of-a-kind cup. This high elevation Rwanda coffee is bright, sweet and packed with the kind of fruity complexity that stops you mid-sip. Brew it as a pour-over to let the raspberry and cacao nib notes shine through in full clarity, pull it slow as an espresso to coax out rich, wine-like depth, or cold brew it overnight to unlock a smooth, jammy sweetness that's unlike anything in your rotation. However you brew it, you're tasting the care of the Abadatezuka women farmers — and a natural process coffee Rwanda has rarely shared with the world. Your morning ritual deserves this. Make it yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Rwanda Abadatezuka comes from the Abadatezuka Women's Cooperative, nestled deep in Rwanda's Nyungwe Forest at 2,200 meters above sea level. Native honeybees pollinate the coffee blossoms, volcanic soil feeds the roots, and every cherry is hand-picked and sun-dried without synthetic inputs. The result is a naturally processed, high elevation Rwanda coffee that's clean, complex, and unlike anything else in our lineup — with notes of raspberry, Malbec, and cacao nibs in every cup.

Not exactly. The high elevation and natural process slow the cherry's ripening, developing deep, jammy sweetness with a soft, wine-like acidity that's smooth and approachable yet bright and expressive. For our low-acid roasts, try Platt Park Dark or the Amigas Blend.

Rwanda Abadatezuka is incredibly versatile. As a pour-over, the raspberry and cacao nib notes shine with bright clarity. Pulled as a slow espresso, rich wine-like depth emerges — think dark fruit and dark chocolate. Cold brew it overnight for a smooth, jammy cup that highlights the full sweetness of this fruity natural process coffee. However you brew it, the Nyungwe Forest terroir comes through beautifully.

As a women-owned roaster, partnerships that create real impact are at the heart of what we do. Our Rwanda Abadatezuka is sourced directly from the Abadatezuka Women's Cooperative — a group of farmers committed to chemical-free cultivation and the preservation of the Nyungwe Forest ecosystem. Every bag of this women's cooperative coffee supports economic independence for the women growing it and sustainable farming practices that protect one of Africa's most biodiverse regions.
