The combination of these coffees creates a blend which is bursting with notes of juicy red apple and caramel.
The coffee from Colombia – Sembradores De Vida – which translates to Sowers of Life, is part of a project that is very close to the work we do at Redemption Roasters, with a wholehearted belief in rehabilitation. For its producers, coffee is a means to stability and a peaceful life in the municipality of Ortega, which has historically been subject to devastating conflict and drug production.
The second part of this blend is sourced from the Gisheke Washing Station, within the Nyamasheke District in Rwanda. We work with Raw Material, who reinvest all profits beyond their operational costs back into the communities from which the coffees come. Also working alongside Muraho Trading Company, they help co-operatives increase their quality of production, fetch a higher price for their coffee, and introduce them to new markets.
