Red Gates • Kageyo Rwanda • Seasonal Single Origin
“raspberry · candy sweetness”
Tasting notes
In the roaster’s words
About the Producers Kageyo sits high in Rwanda’s Western Province, around 2000 metres up, where the elevation, rainfall, and volcanic soil create the perfect conditions for great coffee. The station works with around 1500 smallholder farmers, supported through training and improved farming practices. About the Name Named after the infamous party warehouse in Hackney Wick, Red Gates is a nod to the wild nights that once defined the area. The first Rwandan beans we roasted under this name had tasting notes of raspberry hubba bubba, which reminded us of people chewing their faces off at those all-nighters. These days, it’s more of a nod to a party in your mouth. Based on Fish Island, Red Gates was legendary for its parties just a few years back, before Hackney Wick turned into a block of new builds. It's a little taste of that rebellious spirit in every cup.
