SHYIRA (NATURAL)

from £13.50

Nectarine, Citrus & Maple Syrup

Few coffees represent our roastery better than the beautiful coffees of Shyira. This is the 7th year we have purchased coffee from this washing station and it is something we look forward to every year. Our fantastic import partners, Raw Material, alongside the locally based Muharo Trading Company, have done amazing work on the ground in Shyira to improve quality and infrastructure. The coffees produced by this partnership are nothing short of incredible and, in our opinion, some of the best coffee being produced in the world today.

The station itself was built in 2017 in the Nyabihu region of Rwanda. Situated 2000 metres above sea level it collects coffee cherry from local producers that live as high as 2400 masl - some of the highest grown coffee in Rwanda. This, combined with the plentiful access to water thanks to the river that runs through the base of the station, lead to unrivalled cup quality in the area. The coffees are clean and refined with a cup profile that is both complex and also familiar.

This is the natural lot produced by the station this harvest. It’s juicy and vibrant with blackberry sweetness and bright, red apple acidity which bring real depth of flavour. This is a beautiful representation of the coffee produced in this region.

IN THE CUP: Red wine, Blackberries & Turkish Delight

Few coffees embody the spirit of our roastery quite like those from Shyira. This marks the sixth consecutive year we’ve sourced coffee from this exceptional washing station—an annual highlight we eagerly anticipate.

Thanks to the outstanding work of our import partners, Raw Material, in collaboration with the locally based Muharo Trading Company, the quality and infrastructure at Shyira continue to improve year after year. The results of this partnership are truly remarkable. In our view, these coffees represent some of the finest being produced anywhere in the world today.

Established in 2017 in Rwanda’s Nyabihu region, the Shyira washing station sits at 2,000 metres above sea level, with contributing farms reaching elevations as high as 2,400 metres—among the highest altitudes for coffee cultivation in Rwanda. This elevation, combined with abundant access to fresh water from a river flowing through the base of the station, contributes to a cup quality that is unmatched in the region. The resulting coffees are exceptionally clean and refined, with a profile that is both complex and comfortingly familiar.

This lot is a naturally processed offering from the current harvest. Expect a rich, fruit-forward cup with vibrant notes of blueberry and wine gums, complemented by a crisp red apple acidity.

*Our coffee is freshly roasted each week and orders are dispatched on Tuesday and Thursday for orders received by 12pm the day before.
