Espresso, flat white, cold brew… honestly, whatever your vibe, this coffee gets you. Bright, sweet, complex, and delicate, it’s another absolute hit from Melbourne Coffee Merchant's banging Rwandan sourcing program. And behind it all? Faustin and Judith—hand-tending, pruning, mulching, shade-growing, and even juggling a few cows—pouring their heart (and elbow grease) into every tree. Longtime Dukunde Kawa members, raising six kids, and perfecting their craft like pros. Coffee here isn’t just a crop—it’s a way of life… and every sip proves it.
