Another coffee from our friends at Raw Material. Gito means tiny in Kinyarwanda. Traditionally beans this small would not be exported and sold only in the internal market. Not convinced that smaller beans mean lower quality, RM and Kilimbi washing station isolated these small beans, sorted them by density and cupped. As they suspected the coffee tasted great and now the producers can get a better price for this part of their crop. Farmers deliver their cherry to Kilimbi by boat which is the only way to access this station which sits on Lake Kivu the Great Lake that lies on the border between Rwanda and Democratic republic of Congo.

Joseph ★★★★★

The tiny bean size really does make a difference here — the cup comes out surprisingly smooth and sweet, almost like a tea. I've bought a lot of Rwandan coffees over the years, and this one stands out for its delicate body. Already reordered a second bag before the first one ran out.

Ruby K. ★★★★★

The bag arrived and the beans are genuinely tiny, but they brew up with a surprisingly hearty body that I wasn't expecting. It's become my quiet afternoon ritual to grind these and just savor the cup.

Natalie R. ★★★★★

These little beans brew up surprisingly sweet and clean, way more depth than I expected from something so small. The bag's almost gone and I’m already planning my next order.
