We are very happy to be sharing for the first time one of Justin’s coffee from Mahembe – a washed bourbon from Rwanda that makes a solid espresso! Tasting notes of red grapes, almond milk & cookies.

Having grown up in the local area, Justin returned after a period away, investing in the community by establishing a wet mill on his father’s coffee plantation. In addition to his own 8-hectare farm, he buys cherries from neighbouring smallholders. While this region may not be as renowned for quality coffees as some other parts of Rwanda, it has high altitudes and an increasing number of farmers venturing into coffee cultivation at these elevations. We’ve discovered that these lots possess a distinctive character, setting them apart from other Rwandan coffees. Justin’s well-organised operations, combined with his efforts on the ground to enhance quality, consistently bring exceptional results in the cup. In Rwanda, the prevailing cool climate throughout the season plays a pivotal role in controlling the fermentation process. Using a Penagos Eco Pulper, the skin, pulp, and approximately 70% of the mucilage are removed. The coffee is then dry fermented for 10-12 hours. After this, the parchment is graded and washed in channels, followed by a separation into two grades based on density. It is then soaked in clean water tanks for 16 hours soaking.

MEET THE ROASTER

Dak Coffee Roasters

Dak Coffee Roasters was founded by Louis-Philippe Boucher & Veronique Lagarde in 2019. Originally from Montreal, Canada, the duo roamed around Europe for more than 8 years before settling in Amsterdam where they founded the roastery. Dak means “roof” in Danish, and it was a moment in 2019 when Louis-Philippe was sitting on the roof of his home, drinking coffee when he decided to start his own roastery. Dak now consists of a small team of six

Coffee has always been part of our lives, although our love for specialty coffee has grown exponentially in the past few years. After working many years respectively in Finance & Marketing, we decided to pursue our dream, opening a coffee roastery. Dak was born from true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a journey of endless discoveries.

We select our coffees based on their unique tasting profiles and of course that are 100% fully traceable. We partner with importers that share our values and we roast each one of our coffees carefully to bring the best flavours they have to offer.
—Louis-Philippe & Veronique
