We then extend development just enough to round out the sweetness,\u003cbr\u003eenhancing body and integration without compromising clarity. The result is a lively cup\u003cbr\u003ewith a lingering maple sweetness that carries effortlessly from filter to espresso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoast Style: Classic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin Notes: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGitesi Washing Station is situated in Rwanda's Western Province and has become one of the country's most respected coffee producers. Founded in 2005 by Alexis Gahizi and his son, Aime, Gitesi spent its early years navigating significant challenges before reaching profitability and long-term sustainability in 2010. Today, it works alongside\u003cbr\u003emore than 1800 smallholder farming families, many of whom have supplied cherries to Gitesi for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuality begins long before harvest with farmers selectively hand-pick ripe cherries, while the team at Gitesi follows rigorous sorting and processing protocols. Beyond coffee\u003cbr\u003eproduction, the washing station is deeply invested in strengthening the local farming community. Thousands of coffee seedlings are raised in their nursery each year and\u003cbr\u003edistributed free of charge, helping growers renew and expand their farms. Alongside farmer training, wastewater management innovations and sustainability initiatives, these\u003cbr\u003eefforts have established Gitesi as a model for responsible coffee production - one where exceptional coffees are produced through lasting partnerships with the people who\u003cbr\u003ecultivate them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAltitude: 1750m - 1800m ASL\u003cbr\u003eProcessing: Washed\u003cbr\u003eVariety: Red Bourbon\u003cbr\u003eHarvest: 2025\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Gitesi, Karongi District, Rwanda\u003cbr\u003eProducer: Alexis and Aime Gahizi of Gitesi Washing Station\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosetta Roastery","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":47867605778590,"sku":"250G0132","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Espresso","offer_id":47867605811358,"sku":"250G0132","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Moka Pot","offer_id":47867605844126,"sku":"250G0132","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Aeropress - Short","offer_id":47867605876894,"sku":"250G0132","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Aeropress - Long","offer_id":47867605909662,"sku":"250G0132","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Filter","offer_id":47867605942430,"sku":"250G0132","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Plunger","offer_id":47867605975198,"sku":"250G0132","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":47867606007966,"sku":"1KG0132","price":1080.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0249\/6616\/8628\/files\/Gitesi_2025_Rwanda_-_Website.png?v=1785409726","url":"https:\/\/www.rosettaroastery.com\/products\/gitesi-2025-rwanda","provider":"Rosetta Roastery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
