Named for the Lamari river valley that runs through this region. The smallholder group produces coffee in some of the most remote coffee growing regions. Unlike many other speciality co-ops, each smallholder processes and dries their own coffee before being delivered to a centralised dry mill for final hulling. These variations between processing methods could lead to inconsistency in the coffee - but each lot is meticulously tasted and analysed to match quality and flavour.

Farm Notes:This unique Rwandan bean has been selected from what would have been a commercial grade coffee. Due to the small screen size of each bean, it would’ve been grouped with more generic coffees. However, when selected on taste alone - this coffee scores just as well as high grade speciality. This is a win-win coffee for us and the producers, who can earn more money for more of their crop!
