Anastase Minani | Rwanda
We’ve been returning to Anastase Minani’s coffee for over five years now and this is a perfect example of the type of producer we love to showcase time and time again and whose work continues to shape our understanding of Rwanda.
Sourced in partnership with Melbourne Coffee Merchants, this lot is a rare single-producer expression in a country where most coffees are blended across hundreds of small farms. Minani’s 1.3-hectare plot, with around 3,000 trees, allows for something more defined; a coffee that speaks clearly of one person, one place.
A founding member of the Dukunde Kawa Cooperative, Anastase has spent over 50 years in coffee; not just as a farmer, but as a leader. From training neighbouring producers to helping establish Rwanda’s early cooperative movement, his work has quietly shaped the region.
In the cup, expect a light and floral profile, with notes of plum and English breakfast tea. It is elegant, structured, and quietly expressive. This is Rwanda as we know and love it, and a producer we continue to stand behind, year after year.
