About this Product
Formerly known as ‘Munwarukweto’, this coffee has recently been renamed to ‘Lyra’.
From the dramatic highlands of Nyabihu District, this coffee comes from Shyira, one of the highest coffee-growing areas in Rwanda. Sitting between 1,800 and 2,000 metres above sea level, with cherries collected from neighbouring producers farming up to 2,400 MASL, this is coffee shaped by extreme altitude, slow maturation and cool mountain air.
Composed entirely of Red Bourbon, this lot undergoes an anoxic natural fermentation – a carefully controlled process that enhances sweetness, structure and aromatic depth. Fermentation takes place in sealed tanks for 48 hours, creating a low-oxygen environment that allows flavour to develop with precision and stability. The coffee is then dried whole in cherry on raised beds for four to five weeks, producing a cup that is layered, expressive and vibrant.
Shyira’s isolation, altitude and meticulous processing make it a rare expression of Rwandan coffee – lifted, complex and unmistakably high grown.
