These flavors are supported by classic Great Lakes tea-like qualities, similar to lightly roasted oolong. The body is round and coating, finishing with gentle spice, soft nuttiness, and a comforting warmth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 99.9988%; height: 254.719px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eRwanda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eREGION\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNyamasheke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePROVINCE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWestern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eMUNICIPALITY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eKarambi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eCOMMUNITY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eKarambi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eFARM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVarious smallholder famers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBourbon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eELEVATION\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e1,800-2,100 masl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePROCESS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWashed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eFERMENTATION\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDry 16-18 hours, followed by soaking for 18 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDRYING\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eRaised beds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eROAST LEVEL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eLight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.8552%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNOTES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.8729%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eGrapefruit, Wildflower Honey, Dried Apricot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eKanzu’s coffee comes from the Nyamasheke growing region in South Central Lake Kivu. It’s high up in the mountains around 2000 meters above sea level and features green, lushly-forested mountainsides. Bordering Congo on the west, it offers a range of altitudes all the way up to 2200 masl and beyond. It’s also home to the biodiverse Nyungwe forest, where rainfall ranges from 1300 to 1400 millimeters per year. The soil is volcanic and rich. All of those factors combine to bring us unparalleled quality, which (among other things) pushed us to double down on Kanzu over the years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eKanzu washing station is located at 1836 meters above sea level with great access to the hills covered with coffee and excellent agricultural practices. To date, Kanzu is working with more than 535 farmers and those farmers are also registered under certification programs like Rainforest Alliance and trained in best practices to help them continue producing the best possible coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAt the washing station the cherries are sorted by flotation to carefully remove not just unripes but also any potential insect damage. After pulping, sorting happens in the pre-drying area. This phase is called skin drying, where they pre-dry the skin of coffee so that it won’t crack under full sun conditions. During skin drying they sort out any further visible defects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFor details on the shipping timeline for your order, please visit our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" href=\"https:\/\/smallplanescoffee.com\/pages\/faq-1\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e page.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Small Planes","offers":[{"title":"12 oz","offer_id":42368456130642,"sku":"SP-C-12-26-526","price":23.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":42368456163410,"sku":"SP-C-5-25-526","price":118.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lb","offer_id":42368456196178,"sku":"SP-C-2-26-526","price":58.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2428\/7295\/files\/RwandaKanzuTile_2026.jpg?v=1776264088","url":"https:\/\/smallplanescoffee.com\/products\/rwanda-kanzu","provider":"Small Planes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
