What's it all mean?
We are thrilled to introduce our very first offering from Rwanda! Our roasters applied a bold flame to this light roast, resulting in prominent notes of cherry, followed by more savory undertones for a coffee with big body. In each cup, you'll find something exotically familiar, revealing new discoveries with every sip. The meticulous care taken in cultivating these beans is evident in every cup.
Behind the bean:
This special lot comes from the Women Coffee Extension (WCE) at the Mbizi Coffee Washing Station, known as Kawa Yacu, meaning "our coffee." Founded in 2017 by Aline Christine and Odette Uwamariya, WCE is a cooperative that empowers female specialty coffee producers in Rwanda, boasting over 700 members today.
WCE emphasizes education and empowerment, providing services such as family planning, nutrition programs, and agricultural training, which have significantly improved the lives of many members.

The discourse over the ideal coffee cup is divisive, deeply personal, and highly opinionated. At least we can take solace in knowing that politics isn’t anything like that.
Today, we’re covering the basics of how coffee roasting actually works. From soup to nuts—except, you know, there’s no soup… or nuts… just coffee. But we’ll be covering the broad strokes of the process, which will prepare you and your classmates for your education here at Ready Set Onlineversity
Presidents Day—the odd stepchild of American holidays. We here at Ready Set, however, being the staunch presidential historians and purveyors of coffee, are wholeheartedly thrilled to celebrate our presidents of yore and the coffee these gentlemen may or may not have had when sitting in the Oval Office.
