Located in Rwanda’s Northern Province, Dukunde Kawa Cooperative started in 2000 with enough funds to build one wet mill. In the following years, the Dukunde Kawa Cooperative has built three more and completed construction of their own dry mill. More than 80 percent of the cooperative workforce is women, and producer-members have used earnings to improve their standards of living with investments in livestock, access to healthcare, and programs to protect the environment, which won the SCAA 2012 Sustainability Award. The quality of the coffee is also internationally recognized, consistently placing as one of the best in the Cup of the Excellence auction each year. A longstanding Royal Supply partner, Dukunde Kawa coffees maintain Fair Trade certification.

Just outside of Full City, this coffee is bright and full bodied.  It's fruity, with an elevated sweetness in terms of both aroma and flavor.  If you're looking for a single origin espresso, this is a good one to try! (1 lb. bag)
