Process Coffee is thrilled to showcase a new selection of Rwandan coffees this spring. While the Gisheke washing station in Nyamasheke District is known for its ideal conditions for naturally processed coffees, Raw Material has been pushing boundaries at origin - leading to exciting new experimental processes like this one: Anoxic Water Pillow Washed.
What is the Anoxic Water Pillow Technique?
This innovative fermentation technique, developed at El Fénix, creates a low-oxygen environment by using a water pillow to seal the coffee during fermentation. This method enhances clarity and complexity in the final cup while preserving the coffee’s natural vibrancy.
A Rwandan Coffee Unlike Any Other
This coffee is an exceptional example of Rwanda’s versatility and complexity. It’s also a perfect counterpart to the naturally processed Gisheke, making for an exciting side-by-side comparison of traditional vs. experimental processing.
