Muzo is nestled in the rolling hills near the heart of Rwanda, about a 2 hour drive North West of the capital city. This station is the smallest in the Baho collection, and it is very near and dear to Emmanuel as the source of some of his most beautiful coffees. The Janja Hill lot is a part of Baho’s ongoing appellation project surrounding the Muzo Station. They’re focusing on smaller lot separations by processing groups of farmers’ coffee together based on the highest quality growing areas. The hills are often chosen based on altitude; coffees within the Janja Hill lot are all harvested from farms above 1900 masl and pack a distinct vibrancy and saturation of flavor.
