For our latest episode, we spoke to Ikawa House co-founder Uzziel Habimana, who oversees the processing of natural and anaerobic natural lots at their Ruronzi farm in Rwanda&#39;s Western Province.⁠ With their coffees now on the water and our offer list, we were keen for Uzziel to share the secret behind such transparent and complex lots and to learn how they got a hold of the first Rwandan Gesha we have ever sourced.Check out our <a href="https://melbournecoffeemerchants.com.au/current-offerings/" rel="nofollow">offer list</a> if you&#39;d like to secure some of Ikawa House&#39;s coffees ahead of their arrival in November!

Fresh off their sourcing trip to Rwanda, Jo and Fleur sat down to talk about what they learned on the road and what makes Rwanda such a special place to visit and buy coffee from. The duo had plenty of insights to share, from the growth experienced by both cooperatives MCM works with, to the youth-focused projects and processing innovations propelling Rwanda&#39;s coffee industry into the future.

This month, we reached out to our good friend and longtime Guatemalan export partner Eduardo Ambrocio, the founder and director of Prisma Coffee Origins. Eduardo is one of the most experienced coffee professionals we know, having spent two decades as part of national coffee body Anacafé&#39;s QC team, where he developed strong relationships with people who have since become some of Guatemala&#39;s most celebrated producers and cooperatives.⁠⁠Because we did our Guatemalan sourcing at arm&#39;s length this year, we thought he&#39;d be the best person to chat to for a general overview of the country&#39;s most recent harvest. Keep an eye on our <a href="https://melbournecoffeemerchants.com.au/current-offerings/" rel="nofollow">offer list</a> as we finalise our available Guatemalan coffees for 2026!
