Coffee Description
If some flavor combos could be labeled “to die for,” this coffee profile would need to be included: Raspberry and apricot pastries dipped in dark chocolate and drizzled with caramel. Add a light dusting of baking spices, a sniff of spring flowers, and tea-like effervescence for a bright and balanced cup that is both complex and sweet.

About Multiple smallholder farmers of Rwanda
The Nyarusiza washing station is one of two belonging to the Muhirwa family business, Buf Cafe. Member farmers from two area cooperatives, 1300-member Cobabakagi and 400-600-member Terimbere Kawa Yacu, bring their ripe cherries to the mill to be processed. In addition, other smallholders can bring their cherries to the collection stations owned by Buf Cafe as well.
Each country has its own coffee processing traditions, and for Rwanda, that usually starts with an initial sort in a floating tank where dense cherries sink, and float rejects are skimmed off. Next the pulped coffees undergo a 8-12 hour fermentation period followed by a second sorting by weight before soaking 24 hours. At this point, beans are hand washed and sorted, then placed on raised beds for drying before the next stage in the journey from farm to cup.

Passion House Coffee
Passion House Coffee Roasters and founder Joshua Millman's daughter Bayla were born on the same day, five years ago in Chicago, Illinois. An intentional kind of coffee company with five team members, Passion House has a unique approach to coffee, offering three different types of genres for Crema.co members to explore. Each has its own merit and offers its own perks. (See what we did there?)
Ambient: This coffee offers subtle complexity that enhances your current state of awareness. It's creamy, delicate, and calm.
Mainstream: This coffee is familiar enough to allow you to relax, yet gives you something unexpected. It's buttery, playful, and balanced.
Experimental: This coffee has a vision all its own and will excite you with its individual expression. It's silky, bright, and vibrant.
