Farm ### The place where the story begins The Rama Dufatanemunda group was founded in Burundi by women who had fought for many years for the right to own land and build their own future through coffee farming. Today, their coffee is not only of exceptional quality, but also tells a story of determination, cooperation, and independence. ![Hands that are picking coffee beans from coffee tree](https://ryeisland.com//assets/uploads/_transforms/other/_crop800x400/hands-that-are-picking-coffee-beans-from-coffee-tree_2025-12-19-192701_friw.jpg) Processing ### How Flavours Are Created Small-scale farmers hand-pick only perfectly ripe cherries, which are then thoroughly sorted, washed, and slowly dried on African drying beds. It is precisely this combination of meticulous processing and patient drying that gives the coffee a consistent, distinct flavor profile and an elegant clarity in the cup. ![56849](https://ryeisland.com//assets/uploads/_transforms/other/_crop800x400/56849.jpg) Transport ### Journey Across the Ocean Na ceste z Burundi cez oceán sa o logistiku tejto výberovej kávy stará Sucafina, ktorá dohliada na export aj trasovateľnosť každého lotu. Zrná následne smerujú do Belgicka, do antverpskej pobočky Sucafina, kde prechádzajú ďalšou koordináciou a kontrolou, aby si zachovali svoj charakter a čerstvosť. Odtiaľ pokračujú kamiónom priamo na Žitný ostrov, do Dunajskej Stredy, kde v Rye Island Roastery začína ich finálna kapitola, praženie. ![Aerial view cargo ship cargo container harbor](https://ryeisland.com//assets/uploads/_transforms/farm/_crop800x400/aerial-view-cargo-ship-cargo-container-harbor.jpg) Rye Island Roastery ### where coffee comes to life In Dunajská Streda, this coffee enters its final—but crucial—stage: roasting at Rye Island Roastery. We roast each lot with dedication and respect for the farmer’s work: we test profiles, roast in smaller batches, and monitor every step to draw out the maximum flavor, sweetness, and complexity from the beans. We make sure that the coffee that reaches your cup is of the highest possible quality—a true reflection of the journey that began on a farm in Colombia and culminated in our roastery on Žitný Island. ![Roastery 37](https://ryeisland.com//assets/uploads/_transforms/farm/_crop800x400/roastery-37.jpg) Design ### Which connects the farm and the roastery ![Porkolo aug27 30](https://ryeisland.com//assets/uploads/_transforms/other/_coffeeOrigin/porkolo_aug27-30.jpg) In every design we create, we seek a clear connection between the **origin of the coffee** and **us, Rye Island Roastery** — the place where specialty coffee beans are transformed into the final product. For us, design is not just packaging. It is a visual language that carries the story of the coffee from the farmer all the way to your cup. The waves on the label refer to the **Danube and its branches**, which flow through **Žitný ostrov** — a landscape of water, wind and constant movement. That same rhythm can be felt during brewing, as water flows smoothly through the coffee and releases its aroma. The icon on the packaging represents **Ethiopia**. It is inspired by the visual language of wall drawings and traditional ornaments that carry stories of place, community and identity. In our interpretation, it serves as a subtle reference to **Guji Shakiso**, a region where coffee grows at high altitudes, surrounded by pristine nature and shaped by a slow ripening process. Its geometry reflects the structure, precision and layering we also look for in the cup — **a clean profile, delicate fruitiness and a floral finish**. Together, these elements create a bridge between **Ethiopia and Slovakia** — between the place where the coffee is born and the place where it becomes an experience. ## BREW GUIDE ### Choose the method: ### OVERVIEW **The Hario Switch is a harmonious blend of two worlds—immersion and drip brewing.** **One moment, it allows the coffee to steep freely; the next, it lets it pass through the filter, revealing both the purity and depth of its flavor. A simple principle, a precise result.** ### RECIPE - 13 g of coffee – medium to medium-coarse grind - 200 g of water – 92 °C - 0:00 – Pour in 100 g of water with the valve open - 1:00 – open the valve and pour 50 g in a circular pattern and 50 g into the center - Total extraction time: 2:00–2:45 ### OVERVIEW **Origami is filtered coffee as a small daily ritual.** **Thanks to the dripper’s shape and the distinctive “petals” of the grooves, you can control the flow rate, sweetness, and purity of the flavor.** **All you need is a paper filter and a few precise pours, and this simple recipe will yield coffee that tastes like a little “hand-brewed” experience from a coffee shop.** ### RECIPE - 15 g of coffee – medium to medium-coarse grind - 250 g of water – 92 °C - 0:00 – Pour in 50 g of water using a circular motion - 1:00–1:10 – Pour 100 g more slowly and 100 g more quickly into the center using a circular motion - Total extraction time: 1:50–2:30 ### OVERVIEW **A short ritual that rewards precision. Once you’ve mastered the dose, grind, and extraction, the sweetness, body, and clarity of the flavor profile will shine through in your cup. A simple principle, a precise result.** ### RECIPE - Preheat both the portafilter and the cup. - Weigh out 18.3 g and grind to 85 μm. - Make the bed. - Press it flat.
