  -BEANOGRAPHY -
ORIGIN STORY: This coffee comes from a group of 10 women producers at Muzo Station. The term ‘Ikizere’ means ‘trust’ or ‘confidence’. Emmanuel Rusatira founded the collective to assist widowed and single mothers who cultivate coffee. Together, these 10 women hand-strip the coffee cherries, a difficult and labor-intensive task that fosters conversation, encouraging the "women to talk and discuss their lives, coffee, issues, and also exchange ideas". 

THE FLAVOURS: The cup reveals a rich blend of heavy caramel notes complemented by Maraschino Cherry and Swedish Berry candy flavours. An array of floral Rose Hip and Black Tea intertwines with a lively citrus acidity reminiscent of Lemon Curd or Lemon Cake.
