House Red is our everyday filter coffee, or crowd-pleasing batch brew.

 

It's classic, familiar and comforting - the type of coffee you could drink all day, every day.


Our current House Red is an absolute gem from the Vunga washing station in Rwanda’s Nyabihu district.


It’s round and syrupy in the cup, punctuated by a crisp acidity, and with lingering notes of autumn spices that remind us of spiced apple, cranberry and orange peel.

The Vunga Cooperative was established in 2009 and consists of 260 farmer families who contribute cherry to the Vunga washing station. Located in the north-west of Rwanda, close to the border with Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the washing station is tiny, and is hidden between steep hills and thousands of plantain and banana trees.

It is supplied by water from a natural source in the nearby Virunga National Park, home to some of the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas. Very little coffee is produced in this region, but the little that is has a reputation for being of exceptional quality.

The coffee is hand-picked at peak ripeness, and is delivered to the washing station where it is hand-sorted and floated to separate out unripe and defective beans. It is then pulped and fermented for an average of 6 hours before being washed in serpentine channels. It is then laid out to dry on raised beds for a minimum of 35 days.

We sourced this coffee via our long-standing export partners in Rwanda, Muraho Trading Company (MTC). MTC was setup by brothers Karthick and Gaudam Anbalagam with the goal of showcasing the phenomenal quality of coffees that Rwanda has to offer. They have become key partners of ours, and we have had the great privilege of visiting their washing stations on numerous occasions to see first hand the incredible work that they do in partnership with the communities they work with.
