Processing method of coffee beans in Rwanda

Most of the coffee in Rwanda is washed. The water washing method will first wash and flotation the ripe coffee fruit, then remove the exocarp, pulp and part of the pectin layer, then send the coffee into the fermentation tank, remove the remaining pectin layer and then send it to the drying ground for drying treatment, so that the water content reaches about 13%. The coffee in the picture above is dried on an African shed to avoid the smell of dirt. It is more ventilated and mildew can be avoided. During the drying process, coffee farmers will also turn the beans regularly to make the drying more evenly, and at the same time will pick out the beans of poor quality and discard them.

Well-baked water-washed Rwanda has a dry aroma of roasted peanuts, accompanied by spice and wood aromas. The fragrance of wet lavender and green grass is strong. After the temperature drops a little, the sweetness of fruit increases, and the smell of lavender decreases. The palate is clean and mellow, with a good finish and a long-lasting aroma. The acidity is soft and the overall feeling is full and stretched.
