Tropical Storm is Rwanda's first fresh-harvest coffee this season and arrives with a clear and powerful identity. Processed at the Kirambo Washing Station, near the shores of Lake Kivu, this Red Bourbon lot reflects the vibrant character of the Nyamasheke region.

The natural process enhances a deep and well-defined fruit expression, with a bright, vinous acidity reminiscent of rhubarb. In the cup, the coffee is dense and structured, balancing the intensity of tropical fruits with an enveloping sweetness of milk chocolate.

A process-driven yet surprisingly clean coffee that combines energy, clarity, and depth. Ideal for those seeking elegant, complex, and powerful natural profiles.

Dak was born from a true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a never-ending journey of discovery. We are located in Amsterdam.

We select our coffees based on their unique cupping profiles and, of course, that they are 100% traceable. We partner with importers who share our values ​​and carefully roast each of our coffees to deliver the best flavors they have to offer.

We roast on an IMF machine which provides a high degree of control and consistency in our roasts. The machine uses a convection system that allows the coffees to be properly developed in a shorter time. The result is clean, bright and sweet coffees.
