Coffee Description
It’s been a while since we sourced a coffee from Rwanda. This one from the Gitwe washing station was an absolute stunner on the cupping table. It's got tons of clean, bright stone fruit flavors and a sweet brown sugary finish. It’s got fruit cup vibes but is surprisingly balanced for an African coffee. You’ll definitely need more than just one cup!

About Gitwe Washing Station of Rwanda
Gitwe washing station was built in 2018 in the hills of Rwanda near Nyungwe natural forest. The quality of coffee grown in the area can be attributed to high altitude, optimal rain conditions, and rich volcanic soil. Coffee cherries delivered to Gitwe are pulped right away, fermented for 8-12 hours, then sundried on raised beds for 10-15 days.

PERC
In 2010, Philip Brown started Panther's Eye Roasting Co with the mission to share good times and awesome coffee. With a roaster, a bicycle, and loud tunes, Philip began building a brand one bag at a time. Soon he realized two things: the name needed to be shorter and he needed to partner with some awesome folks to help grow the company. PERC Coffee grew through community, authenticity, hard work, and the curiosity to blaze new trails.
