Rwanda - Horizon 396

TASTING NOTES: We only get a couple of Rwandan coffees in each year and they always intrigue and excite. ‘Horizon’ is so named because of Leo Fidele Ndagijimana’s vision to produce exceptional coffee, and if this is anything to go by then he’s absolutely spot on. Exotic flavours of strawberry and mango with base notes of dark chocolate await you.

“Horizon Supreme” is a washing station located in the hills of Southern Rwanda. Its high altitude and favourable rainfall make this some of the finest quality coffee in the region. The station is owned by Leo Fidel Ndagijimana, who purchased it in late 2018 after years of inactivity under the previous owner. Fidele repaired and upgraded the mill’s machinery, drawing on his experience managing washing stations in Western Rwanda to establish new quality standards. He named the station “Horizon” to reflect his vision for processing exceptional coffee. The station processes cherries from small local farmers and organises lots by the week of delivery. For the next harvest, the Horizon team plans to enhance and scale the systems they’ve implemented.
