Complex, bright, and aromatic the Rwanda Burera is a multifaceted light roast coffee that will have you noticing nuance with each cup. The delicate acidity leads into a sweet and floral cup, with hints of peach, candied orange, and passion fruit that persist all through the delicate cocoa-leaning aftertaste.

The Rwanda Burera received a 91 point score as a filter coffee and a 92 point score as an espresso, by coffee expert Kenneth Davids!

Here is what he said about the Rwanda Burera:

For Filter:

Sweetly nut-toned, softly citrusy. Dried red apple, baking chocolate, orange zest, almond and freesia in aroma and cup. Mildly bright acidity; smooth, velvety mouthfeel. The clean, balanced finish leads with cocoa and citrus notes. (Kenneth Davids, Coffee Review, May 2026), at www.coffeereview.com.

For Espresso:

Richly chocolaty, softly fruit-toned. Baking chocolate, caramel, dried cherry, cedar and orange zest in aroma and small cup. Velvety-smooth mouthfeel; balanced, bittersweet finish. In cappuccino format, chocolate and caramel deepen, supported by a subtle citrus throughline. (Kenneth Davids, Coffee Review, May 2026), at www.coffeereview.com.

12 ounces.

Fantastic

I've tried a lot of mystic monk coffees and so far this might be my favorite of the non-flavored. It was incredibly smooth and rich.

Great coffee blend

I bought this coffee blend for my dad on Father's Day. He said it was one of the best he’s had. I would purchase it again.

smoooooth

I love this Rwanda coffee! It's got a really smooth mouth feel, making creamer almost unnecessary. The chocolatey finish is especially nice. I'll be ordering this one again!

Delicious coffee

We just enjoyed our first cup of the Rwanda Burera. It's a full flavored coffee without being strong or bitter or tasting burnt. I don't care for strong brews and I didn't find this coffee to be overly strong. It's a very enjoyable cup of coffee.

Very good unflavored

We prefer the flavored coffees but I can appreciate this is a very good high quality coffee. Rich flavor and smooth.

Rwanda Burera 2026

A very nice, complex coffee that hits the fruity notes more when brewed 197-200 degrees, the earthy notes at higher temperatures. I sweeten it a bit and drink it with a little cream some days, coconut oil for a slightly different flavor on others.

Pretty Good

But not as good as the Burundi beans. Now, those were exceptional. So I can only give the Rwandan 4 stars. Anyway, I bought two bags and don't regret it. It has a nice earthy bouquet, a decent caffeine kick, and works well as an afternoon cup. But I want the Burundi back!

Exceptional Espresso Bean

Top notch bean for espresso drinks. Great flavor... the coffee reviewer hit it correctly on the tasting notes. Bottom Line for me... not too strong, you can actually taste the nuances of the bean!

Excellent flavor and a unique history!

Wonderfully smooth and complex coffee! An excellent choice. Bold and bright notes with a very nice aroma and low acidity make for a supremely enjoyable way to greet the new day! This coffee can stand tall and hold its own alongside some of the more well-known worldwide selections. Very happy with my purchase!

Good enough…

…but we like the Mystic Monk Blend which we are drinking now. We buy the beans, grind them at home and brew in a simple drip maker.

Too darkl

I don’t like dark roasted coffees. After three different levels of water per coffee amounts, Ruanda still tasted like mud, almost like a tired decaf.

Rich and smooth Rwandan coffee

It makes the best half-caf when combined with Mexican decaf. The leftovers are put in a jar in the fridge for iced coffee or morning mocha the next day! Yum 😋

I have already ordered more!!!

This coffee makes a smooth and low acidic cup of delight. Both my hubbie and I are enjoying it. I hope it becomes a year-round offering. There are interesting layers of flavor (and olfactory delight) in each cuppa this "Joe." It reinforces my judgment that African coffees are wonderful and easiest on the old GI tract. If you enjoy your coffee black, this one is for you.

Rwanda coffee

I just opened it up today and as usual I'm never disappointed. I was a little nervous buying it since I'd never had it before, but it is a wonderful cup of coffee. So glad I bought it. Will but again

I love African Coffee and this one is one of the best! It’s like I’m tasting the rich, fragrant earthy flavours of Africa.
This is a highly recommended coffee!

One of my favorite un flavored coffees.

Rwandan coffees are my favorite. My top favorite is the Rwandan Kivubelt Morundo, which it not available often, followed closely by the Rwanda Mountain. It is a medium brew and both of these can be enjoyed straight or with whatever you would like to add. In fact after I tried one of the mountain brews, I went ahead and bought 4 more bags.
