New Direct Trade Rwanda is here

Zirikana

We’ve featured the 1st, 4th, and 14th place Golden Cup coffees, but now we are introducing something new.  Now brewing at 21st Street Coffee and Tea… the 2008 Direct Trade Rwanda.  Zirikana means “show your commitment”- these Rwandan farmers have been working alongside Intelligentsia doing just that for several years now, and the results are here for you to taste.  We had the “preview” coffee this past summer, but I must say that this is a much more vibrant, flavorful and unique coffee than what we experienced last time.  Rwanda is certainly an up and coming star in the specialty coffee world.

Check out the latest brew bar menu if you’re so inclined.  El Cuervo, Direct Trade Guatemala is also back on our menu for a limited run.
