Rwanda Gasharu Intego | Anaerobic

Intego experimental coffee is the result of the Gasharu farms curiosity to explore new methods of fermenting naturals to attain the best flavours and tastes. The final recipe of this coffee was selected after a series of trials in which the process was slowly refined and finally resulted in a complex and out-of-this-world flavour profile.

Intego goes beyond a simple cup of coffee because of the intentionally created fermentation medium that gives it a strong body and clear taste which provides a unique and memorable experience to coffee lovers.

In addition to the unique taste, Intego coffee demonstrates the willingness of the Gasharu team to enter the European coffee market with the most genuine quality coffee and their culture of establishing “coffee harvest resolutions” to continue improving quality through innovative processing methods and promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

»Throughout the year, Gasharu Coffee holds small group meetings with coffee farmers to catch up on life, discuss the challenges in coffee farming and advise on the opportunities. Although my father Celestin is not an agronomist, he has always received calls from coffee farmers to advise on farming and processing because of his experience in farming, Now I have both the farming experience and academic training as an agronomist. I provide more scientific-based farming and harvesting guidance whenever needed. The processing at the washing station is carried out by young coffee farmers and the sorting on tables by slightly older coffee farmers, mainly women, providing them with more income.«
