The farm on which this coffee was grown is located in Nyabihu District in Rwanda, specifically near Shyira Washing Station, which is known for its quality coffee cherry production. Shyira is a region located at high altitudes between 1500 and 2000 metres above sea level, which provides ideal conditions for growing coffee trees. The area is renowned for its fertile soil, which helps to give the coffee its distinctive sweetness and complex flavour profile. At the same time, there is a strong coffee-growing tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation, ensuring a quality and carefully processed crop. Shyira is thus a region that deserves your attention for its coffee that meets the highest standards.
"The 'anoxic cushion method'is a type of processing that we are beginning to see more and more, and although the name sounds complex and technical, it is a very efficient processing method designed to lower the barrier to entry for advanced processing. As processing becomes more complex and borrows more from brewing and advanced fermentation, cost and access to materials can be a barrier. That's where the anoxic pillow method comes in, which limits controlled fermentation to the most basic elements - requiring only a large enough container for the cherries, a thin enough film to cover the cherries, and water. That's it!
