KIVU NOIR

In the center of Africa, 4,800 ft above sea level, you will find Rwanda’s deepest body of water, lake Kivu. A dark secret lies beneath the water. Lake Kivu’s bed sits upon a rift valley, slowly being pulled apart, causing volcanic activity.

In the rich volcanic soils that line the shores of Lake Kivu, one of the world’s most exclusive coffee beans is the Rwanda Red Bourbon Arabica. Kivu noir is rated amongst the top 1% of the world’s highest quality single estate coffees for its quintessential richness of flavour, freshness and smooth texture. Typically, Kivu noir takes one month from harvest to cup, whereas other coffees can take up to 20 years from crop to cup.
