NotesBlack Cherry, Wine Gums, Cola
Sat at 1,850 MASL, Shyira is reputedly the highest washing station in Rwanda, taking in cherry from over 750 smallholder farmers up to 2,300 MASL. That altitude, combined with the level of care and precision employed by station manager Evariste and his team, are a big part of why Shyira consistently produces some of the most complex and nuanced coffees we come across from Rwanda. And this lot is no exception - juicy and sticky-sweet, reminding us of black cherry, wine gums, and cola.
Cherry is hand-sorted and floated to remove under-ripe and damaged fruit, then dried on raised beds for 30 days, and turned regularly for even drying. Once dry, the outer fruit is removed and the coffee is sent to the dry mill for hulling, grading, and prep for export.
Muraho was founded by brothers Karthick and Gaudam Anbalagam with the goal of showcasing the great potential of Rwandan coffee. Shyira was the third washing station they built, opened in January 2017 following earlier projects at Kilimbi and Rugali in Nyamasheke district. They have since gone on to open stations at Bumbogo, Gisheke, Vunga, and Cyesha, with Dahwe in Rwanda's Southern Province their newest addition.
Muraho were pioneers of natural processing in the country, and Shyira has since become the country's benchmark station for honey processing - all of which is evident in this delicious coffee that continues to deliver season after season.
