Another beautiful lot from Baho coffee and the Humure washing station. Mill manager Stratton Nzaramba delivered a top quality lot.

Here are a few words from Emmanuel Rusatira, Baho's founder:

“Baho’s vision on community is guided by having a synergetic relationship with the community of farmers that we work with, where we guide them and create solutions in a replicable, sustainable and scalable manner leading to economic growth and poverty reduction. Our overall vision is implied by the meaning of our name, Baho, which in our local language means live/life. It is like a tree that grows up and has branches, flowers and fruits and still keeps its roots in the ground. Baho is born, grows up and sells coffee both locally and internationally and never forgets the origin.”

For a darker version of the same coffee, check out the Humure Dark!

This is a very solid, unpretentious washed coffee that hits all the quality markers we are looking for: clean, vibrant, sirupy and sweet.

Sweet like brown sugar ( specifically cassonade in French), the acidity is full of stone fruits (nectarine for us).
We also taste lots of dried fruits, like raisins and prunes.

This is a versatile coffee that fairs well with any method. Enjoy black or with milk.

If you want a slightly darker roast for milky espresso beverages, try the Humure Dark!
