SOURCED GLOBALLY ROASTED IN PHILADELPHIA

ABOUT THIS COFFEE:

The Kanzu washing station is located in the Nyamasheke region of Rwanda, which is on Lake Kivu, high in the lushly forested mountainside.

This region is incredibly well-suiting to growing stunning coffee, and for this reason, we've been buying coffees from Kanzu for nearly as long as we've been roasting. Each year, the quality gets better and better, and this year's lot doesn't disappoint.

Similar to coffees from Ethiopia, this coffee from Kanzu is extremely floral and tea-like. What's different is the presentation of the acidity, which tastes like lime candy and dried berry. There is also a unique herbaceous quality that reminds us of a sweet oolong tea.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Will My Order Ship?

Most orders ship the next business day from when they are placed, unless that is a holiday.

The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.

Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?

Yes!

First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.

Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.

Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.

Any other questions? Just drop us a line.

Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?

While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.

All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.

Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.Â
