About Cyimbili of Rwanda
At Cyimbili, coffee begins at the shore of Lake Kivu and runs to the top of the highest
hill covering an expansive farm across several blocks. This selection is from one block
that is mostly planted to the rare Rwanda variety “Harrar”. Mostly Bourbon and Jackson
Bourbon are planted in Rwanda and not much is known about the Harrar variety in
Rwanda as it is rarely if ever separated by washing stations collecting daily from all the
various small holders. Both traditional fermentation as well as mechanically washed
lots are included in this selection in which the character of Cyimbili translates through
the Harrar in citrus and stone fruit flavors balanced by black tea tannin all wrapped in a
silkier texture with a long and spaced cup structure.

Feast Coffee & Culture
Feast began in a living room on Bainbridge Island, WA. At least the idea was born there, and in 2016, husband and wife team, Eric and Lisa Schuler, launched their Redding, CA-based celebration of creativity, community and excellence in coffee. Eric has been in coffee since 2011 in capacities ranging from barista and cafe manager to roaster, green buyer and owner. In Eric’s words, “For us coffee is about building community and relationships...the people we meet, sourcing, partner coffee shops that carry our coffee, and our customers. The coffee industry is full of beautiful people.”
At Feast, they’re passionate about inviting others into something tangible, and one of the ways they do that is by telling the story of coffee. They’re builders with a vision that encompasses a global community, and their dream is not only to build their own coffee world, but the industry as a whole from those that sip their fabulous brew to the farmers who grew the beans. Always learning, always curious, at the end of the day, Feast Coffee is about joy, inclusion, and dang good coffee.
