It may still be pumpkin spice season, but that’s not going to stop us from getting a head start on some gift giving. Brought to us by the Gift Coffee Company, this coffee originates from Rwanda's high-altitude Shyembe Cell in Maraba. Rich volcanic soil conditions and organic fertilization practices both contribute to Maraba’s outstanding flavour profile. Look for notes of honey, chamomile, dried fruit and cinnamon. Here’s the part where I close with something corny and obvious like “Maraba is truly a gift for your taste buds, give it a try today”. I’m sure you could see that coming. Enjoy!
