Alexis+Aimé is a rich and expressive Rwandan coffee that showcases the sweet, fruit‑driven character natural processing can bring when handled with precision. Produced by father‑and‑son duo Alexis and Aimé Gahizi at the renowned Gitesi Washing Station, this Red Bourbon lot delivers a vibrant, jammy cup that balances intensity with elegance.

In the cup, expect layers of blackberry jam and pomegranate, supported by the deep, caramelised sweetness of molasses. The result is a coffee with remarkable depth and a smooth, lingering sweetness that carries through to a clean, satisfying finish. Its natural processing enhances fruit character and body while preserving clarity, creating a profile that feels rich and comforting without becoming heavy.

Sourced from Rwanda's Western Province, where coffee cherries benefit from ideal growing conditions and careful cultivation, this lot reflects the meticulous approach that has made Gitesi one of the country's most respected washing stations. Every stage of production is designed to maximise quality, allowing the natural sweetness and complexity of the Red Bourbon variety to shine.

The result is a coffee that feels both vibrant and approachable — full of jammy fruit, rounded sweetness and refined structure. Whether enjoyed as a filter brew or a fruit‑forward espresso, Realm offers a memorable cup that rewards attention while remaining effortlessly drinkable.
