Impano 100 hr Anaerobic Experimental

Introducing our latest offering: Impano Anaerobic Coffee, a distinctive and meticulously processed micro-lot from the renowned Gasharu Washing Station in Rwanda’s Nyamasheke District.

Our Relationship with Gasharu Coffee

Since 2020, our journey with Gasharu Coffee has been one of shared values, quality, and dedication. It all began during the challenges of the pandemic, when we first connected with Valentin, the owner of Gasharu Coffee. Through countless conversations and tastings, we discovered a mutual passion for producing and showcasing the finest coffee Rwanda has to offer.

In 2024, at the World of Coffee event in Copenhagen, our collaboration reached a milestone as we finalised a direct trade partnership, bringing Gasharu Coffee’s exceptional beans to Ireland. This marked their first container shipment to our shores and our first container of specialty coffee from Rwanda. Each cup reflects the care, innovation, and authenticity that Gasharu is renowned for.

It’s an honour to share their Impano (meaning gift), a product of their legacy and commitment, with you.
