Rwanda Nyungwe - Process Coffee
Category: Coffee
A light roast anaerobic natural from the Nyungwe forest region of Rwanda, roasted by Belfast-based specialty roaster Process Coffee — exclusively for Fellow Drops.
Rwanda coffees have always held a special place in the specialty world, and this one is a standout. Grown at 1800 masl near the Nyungwe natural forest — named for the farthest source of the River Nile — this Red Bourbon lot delivers the tradition and terroir Rwanda is known for, elevated by careful anaerobic natural processing.
Process Coffee founder Ben Hamilton calls it a "mug you can chug": fruit-forward, juicy, and endlessly drinkable. The Nyungwe Washing Station, operated by Rwanda Trading Company since 2013, supports hundreds of smallholder farmers with agronomy training, financial literacy programs, and free seedlings for farm rejuvenation — over 200,000 distributed in the past two years alone. Sustainability here isn't a buzzword; it's built into how the station operates, from organic fertilizers to spring-sourced water and cooler nights from the neighboring forest canopy.

About the roaster:
Process Coffee is an independent specialty roaster founded in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with a single mission: making "future fond memories." Founded by Ben Hamilton, Process sources single-origin lots from small co-ops and farms with obsessive attention to varietal, terroir, and processing conditions. The name says it all — "Process" honors both the literal agricultural journey of the bean and the people behind every cup, from farmer to roaster to the person brewing at home. Equal parts meticulous and rad.
