Fellow's Take on Decaf Rwanda Nyamyumba Natural by Equator | Brew Recipe

Here's how we brewed this deliciously flavorful decaf from our friends at Equator Coffees.

This coffee was produced by the women’s Tuvemubukene cooperative, known for their high quality coffee and socially sustainable approach. It was gently decaffeinated using the chemical-free Swiss Water Process, resulting in a beautifully flavorful cup. We tasted strawberry, vanilla, and violet.

🌍 Origin: Rubavu, Western Province, Rwanda

🌞 Process: Natural, Swiss Water Decaf

🔬 Variety: Bourbon

⛰️ Elevation: 1,500 - 2,000 MASL
