Gwiza Women Coffee – Taste with Impact!
Enjoy coffee and empower women in Africa? With our Women Coffee, that’s exactly what you can do! This special lot comes from the Abadatezuka Cooperative and is produced exclusively by women. In addition to a quality premium, the farmers receive extra support to strengthen their economic independence. The women of the Gwiza group grow their coffee in the region near Lake Kivu at altitudes of up to 2,200 meters. The ripe coffee cherries are carefully sorted and dried on raised beds to ensure the highest quality.
A special highlight: Wild honeybees from the Nyungwe Forest contribute to the coffee’s unique flavor profile through pollination. Enjoy a coffee that not only tastes exceptional but also makes a real difference!
Variety & Processing
Bourbon - one of the most popular arabica varieties
Process: Honey
 
Thanks to its exceptional sweetness and high quality, Bourbon is one of the most popular coffee varieties in the world. It grows tall but has a lower yield and is more susceptible to diseases—yet it stands out with its outstanding cup quality. This coffee has been processed using the Honey Process: The coffee cherries are fully depulped, while part of the mucilage remains on the bean. This enhances the coffee’s natural sweetness, intensifies fruity notes, and creates a vibrant, velvety texture.

Our first Rwanda Women Espresso – a real highlight!

We are delighted to be sourcing this exceptional coffee from Rwanda for the first time. And it is only our second coffee from this fascinating coffee-growing country. As an espresso, you can expect intense notes of caramel, sweet prune and dark chocolate – an addictive taste experience. We also discovered hazelnut, redcurrant and gooseberry when cupping. What makes it special: This coffee is grown by women farmers in Rwanda, with every cup you support their work and contribute to greater economic independence. Enjoyment with an impact!

Important note for ground coffee:
Please note that we cannot offer a universal grind for ground coffee for use in portafilter machines. The optimum grind must be individually adjusted to the respective machine, as factors such as sieve size, pump and brewing pressure as well as temperature vary greatly depending on the model. We therefore always recommend buying whole beans and adjusting the grind yourself to suit your machine.

Important note on returns:
Ground coffee cannot be exchanged as it is ground exclusively at the customer’s request. Thank you for your understanding.

Sustainable cultivation and quality awareness
As with wine, the origin, cultivation and careful harvesting of coffee form the basis for a specialty coffee. We only use ripe and hand-picked 100% Arabica coffee beans for our coffees, as the laborious harvesting by hand is an essential quality criterion. Our highland coffees are natural products and are grown in shady forest gardens in an environmentally friendly way. This preserves the biodiversity of the growing region. The coffee cherries can ripen slowly at cool altitudes with nutritious and fertile soil conditions. Under these optimal climatic conditions near the equator, the coffee plants have more time to develop their characteristic and fruity aromas.  
Freshly roasted by hand
All Röststätte coffees are gently roasted by hand in Berlin so that the natural aromas can fully develop without any unwanted acidity. To achieve a pronounced body and a versatile taste profile in the cup, we want to emphasize and optimally process the special features of the respective variety, farm and origin of the coffee with our roasting. The aim is therefore to exploit the full potential of the green coffee through our roasting method in order to emphasize the valuable work of the producers in the countries where the coffee is grown. These are our quality principles – from source to the final cup.
