This particular lot is solely produced and processed by women. The majority of work in coffee farming and processing is done by women but only a small percentage of the proceedings go to women despite their contributions to and responsibilities in their households.
This coffee acknowledges women’s work in the coffee value chain. Urugori “women’s crown” is a crown that women in Rwanda are given after giving their first birth as a symbol of motherhood. It is a symbol of respect and recognition of their contribution to society. This coffee was processed as a washed, you can expect floral notes, stone fruit and a brown sugar sweetness.
Espresso recipe we are using:
• Ground coffee weight: 19g
• Beverage weight: 39-40g yield
• Brew Ratio : 1:2.1
• Brew (extraction) time: 26-27 seconds
• Water temperature: 92°C
• Resting Period: Rested (27-35 days from roasting date)
*Note: As each machine is different, start with an amount of coffee that comfortably fits in your basket. We are using VST 20gm baskets for our recipes. For example, if your portafilter fits 16g of coffee, you need to down dose it as per our recipe. Dose and distribute carefully using a scale capable of reading to an accuracy of 0,1g.
Hot tips:
Make sure the portafilter is hot when you start brewing. If it’s not, run some hot water through it to heat it up. The espresso shot should first come out as drips and be heavy and oily, and eventually become a steady stream. Please use your grind setting to achieve the recommended brew time.
