Mibirizi

Mibirizi — Probably the oldest coffee variety still planted in Rwanda and still important to smallholders there and in neighbouring Burundi. Its origin is poorly documented; the Belgian coffee historian Edmund Leplae recorded that the German administration brought it in from Guatemala.

Flavor Profile

Citrus, black tea and light florals with delicate acidity, quiet clean sweetness and a light body.

Brewing Tip

Pour-over at 90-92 °C, 1:15, medium-fine grind, staged pours, to keep clarity and sweetness forward.
