Each year, the Rwanda Trading Company creates a blend of coffees from the top-cupping washing stations from their partners in various regions in Rwanda. We call it the Rwanda Intore, which means "the chosen one" in kinyarwanda. Full of body and complex sweet citrus flavors, the Intore blend truly represents the best of what this small country has to offer.
