Rwanda FTO Natural Sholi, 1 bag of green coffee, stored at The Green Room

Description

This coffee is expected to arrive in February 2026!

Abateraninkunga ba Sholi was founded in 2008 out of a women's association called Kundwa ("love"), which expanded to include family-produced coffees. Atlas has worked with Abateraninkunga ba Sholi since 2017 when we imported their inaugural shipment into the US. Abateraninkunga ba Sholi means "Mutual Assistance" in Swahili. The cooperative has focused on improving members' lives and livelihoods through higher premiums for their coffee and greater community resources.

With the help of Cafe Feminino Foundation, Sholi has received grants to build a community center and regional health center; they've used coffee premiums to plant shade trees, develop coffee processing infrastructure, start an Apiary project, and distribute cows to members.

Sholi coffees have some of the deepest citrus acidity we've experienced from the Great Lakes countries, shining with ruby red grapefruit and juicy blood orange. Additional mango, orange, and dark berry layers are balanced by honey and finished with lavender.
