Brewing Advice

Water is one of the most critical components of an excellent coffee experience. We recommend using mineral water of a soft Total Dissolved Solids count, ideally below 150 ppm. 

Rested coffee During the resting process, harsh and astringent flavors, which can even be perceived as a ‘roast’ character, soften out, allowing a clearer and brighter expression of the coffee’s character to shine.  

We recommend resting our coffees for at least 10 days after the roast date, and we often find excellent results, especially for particularly dense coffees, beyond 6 weeks.

Brewing Our straightforward approach to coffee carries over into brewing. We recommend our roasted coffee for all brew methods, regardless of whether it is immersion, percolation or espresso. We believe that there is one correct way to roast a single coffee, roasting lightly, in such a way as to release its innate qualities and showcase its quality.

Muraho Trading Co.

This is our fifth year working with renowned Rwandan producers Muraho Trading Co. The coffees that they produce are quite simply some of the best Rwandan lots we have tasted at La Cabra, and Gaudam and Carthick Anbalagan, the brothers that run the project, are among the most innovative producers in the country. Last summer, Gadz and Carthick were able to visit us in connection with this year’s World of Coffee in Copenhagen, sharing stories of the most recent harvest in Rwanda.

Raised in Rwanda and relocated to Wellington, New Zealand as teenagers, Gaudam and Carthick returned to their homeland after the 1994 Genocide to contribute to the recovery of their homecountry. They founded Muraho, and have since expanded to own multiple stations across Rwanda’s coffee regions, exporting to premier global roasters. Pioneers in their field, they were the first to produce and export naturally processed coffees from Rwanda in 2016 and recently began exporting non-Bourbon varietals, a project we are proud to support.

Bumbogo

The Bumbogo Coffee Washing Station is owned by Neza Trading Co, but run in conjunction with Muraho. It is located in the Gakenke district, famous for high quality coffees in Rwanda; many previous winners of the Cup of Excellence have come from Gakenke. Muraho’s investment and support has meant that Bumbogo have been able to almost double their production since their first harvest in 2018. Bumbogo farmers have also been provided with seedlings and agronomic education, leading to ever greater quality. 

The washed process of this lot communicates the inherent brightness of Rwandan coffee, with a complex fruit character of bright citrus and ripe red berries.
