About This Coffee

This coffee is a Red Bourbon variety from the Nyamasheke district in Rwanda's Western Province. Grown in nutrient-rich volcanic soil at altitudes between 1,600 and 1,850 meters, it is produced by smallholder farmers and processed at the Karengera washing station using a meticulous washed method. The cup profile is expressive, featuring notes of spiced wine, cherry, vanilla, brown sugar, and raisin. It is recommended for espresso preparation, both served black and in milk-based drinks.

Monkee Koffee

Opened in late 2014 by Oscar Gonzalez and Salvador Figueros, Monkee Koffee was among Madrid's earliest specialty coffee spaces. The founders came from careers in TV and marketing, and drew inspiration from roasters like Blue Bottle and Panther Coffee in Miami. The shop landed in an untrendy, residential corner of the Chamberi district and set about building a local audience for a style of coffee drinking that barely existed in Madrid at the time. For years, Monkee sourced its beans from Spanish micro roasters including Puchero and others, with baristas certified by the SCA. In 2025, the operation began roasting in house from selected small producers. Monkee's identity leans as much on atmosphere and community as on the coffee itself, with weekend brunches, a communal table culture, and a deliberate effort to make specialty coffee feel welcoming.
