The newest iteration of The Filter Blend has arrived! Combining previous Red Brick component El Pato from Cajamarca, Colombia and a current shop favourite, Muhondo from Gakenke district, Rwanda, comforting notes of apple, almond and chocolate offer endless joy.
Colombian El Pato is making its Filter Blend debut! A coffee from a new supply chain, we purchased a lot from an Origin Coffee Lab (OCL) partner, El Eden, which led to this year's strategic contract with OCL & Tropiq for a large part of our Northern Peru offerings. We bought a group of "nesting" coffees from this area: El Pato, La Bermeja, La Catarata and El Romerillo and while all 4 coffees showcase the diversity of Peru, we think El Pato’s sweet notes of candied orange and a caramel finish add a warming quality to the blend.
A shining example of a Rwandan coffee profile, Muhondo’s creamy texture and bright, cherry notes make it the ultimate accompaniment to El Pato’s sugary flavours. Based in Rwanda’s Northern Province, Muhondo Coffee Company work with over 3,200 smallholder farmers. Operating 3 washing stations: Muhondo and Bukonya in the Gakenke district and Bwisige in Gicumbi district, each have had a tremendous impact on the local communities, particularly in providing employment for women and youth, as well as empowering farmers with equipment, micro-finance loans and clean water supplies.
