The elegance of a structured, bright and delicately fruity coffee

Women's Crown is more than a cafe: it's a symbol.
Originating from the renowned Gasharu station in the Nyamasheke highlands, this exceptional batch showcases the expertise of women , from manual selection to final sorting, including fermentation.

A highly precise, two-stage anaerobic process
The cherries, harvested at peak ripeness, are sorted with water and then gently depulped using a McKinnon disc. This is followed by a dry fermentation of 12 to 14 hours , before a second sorting by density to retain only Grade A. This superior batch then undergoes a second controlled fermentation of 8 hours , followed by slow drying for 16 to 20 days on raised African beds, under constant supervision.

Aromatic profile: brightness, sweetness and finesse
In the cup, Women's Crown offers a luminous and structured complexity:

• Morello cherry , red berries , sweet apple and orange for fruity intensity,

• Plain yogurt , green tea and fresh herbs for lactic acidity and freshness,

• All of this is supported by a multitude of aromatic layers and an elegant body .
  A multilayered cup, at once soft, lively and deeply balanced.

👑 A Grand Cru, crafted with care and carried by expert hands.
An ode to the work of women, to the technicality of Gasharu processes, and to the beauty of Rwanda's terroirs.
