MORE INFO
Ireme (Authentic) isn’t just coffee—it’s a statement.
Built on the Kimenyi family’s deep-rooted connection to the coffee community, this experimental lot breaks the usual boundaries. Farming, processing, drinking—these worlds shouldn’t live apart. This coffee brings them back together.
Every step, from cherry to cup, is handled with intent. At Gasharu Coffee, fermentation is pushed and refined to unlock real depth, real character—no shortcuts, no compromises.
The result? A cup that tastes like Rwanda and stands for something bigger. It reminds the drinker there’s a grower behind every sip—and that great coffee is a two-way street.
Ireme is about connection. Between producer and consumer. Between craft and experience. Strong, honest, and built to last.

What is the difference between "Washed" and "Unwashed" coffee?
What is the difference between "Washed" and "Unwashed" coffee?
These terms refer to the "process"—how the coffee cherry is removed from the bean. Washed coffees are cleaned with water, resulting in a bright, clean, and "tea-like" cup that highlights the bean's origin. Unwashed (or Natural) coffees are dried with the fruit still on the bean, leading to a "funky," full-bodied cup with intense notes of ripe fruit and sweetness.
"Fruity" vs. "Not So Fruity"—how do I choose?
"Fruity" vs. "Not So Fruity"—how do I choose?
We categorize our coffees to make your choice easier. If you enjoy bright, acidic, and complex notes (like berries or citrus), go for "Fruity." If you prefer a more classic, chocolatey, and nutty profile with lower acidity, "Not So Fruity" is for you.
