One of our most anticipated coffees of the year has returned!

Exceptionally moreish, it delivers a creamy, chocolate-rich mouthfeel layered with jammy berry sweetness and a subtle, warming hint of sherry on the finish.

Now in our sixth year working with Kilimbi, we’re proud to continue our partnership with Muraho Trading Co., who operate the washing station on the shores of Lake Kivu, which is still only accessible by boat.

The natural process involves keeping the entire coffee cherry intact to allow the fruit to impart flavour to the bean while its dries. Drying beds stretch across a large open plain, where airflow and sunlight have maximum exposure to the coffee as it dries. The cherry is dried for 30 days, turned constantly when the sun is high and covered during the night. Once the cherry has dried, the now dried outer fruit is removed, and the coffee beans are ready to be organised for packing.

Great coffee, slightly clunky website

We’re loyal customers. We only drink Hard Lines coffee beans at home and recommend you to friends. So no coffee complaints— although would like an organic beans option. We have a monthly subscription but sometimes run out of beans before our scheduled delivery date. I find the website and adapting your subscription slightly clunky. This month for example, I thought I’d managed to bring my subscription delivery forward as we were running low on beans. Only to find that I seemed to have ordered an additional pack and then my normal subscription arrived a few days later. So we’ve paid twice. We’ll get through the beans so don’t mind having a second bag but now next month will have to delay the subscription. I have subscriptions with other companies and find their websites much easier to navigate and subscriptions easier to adjust as required.

A little harsh, but certainly peppy

Not the most interesting flavour profile, but a solid keep-you-awake-during-a-stakeout performer.
