Rwanda Nyaruguru Busanze Natural

Sourcing Details:

The bulk of Rwanda’s coffee processing is  based on a centralized washing station system. The harvest starts on small family owned farms where coffee is cultivated on just a few acres of land usually intercropped with soy beans.  These farmers deliver their harvested cherries to a modern washing station, which alleviates the expense and risk of processing themselves.

Processing Details:

This particular lot was produced at a washing station in the Nyarugurui District run by Impexcor ltd, which was established in 2018.  A select group of 170 local coffee farmers harvest and deliver cherries to the Nyaruguru washing station. Processing at the Rwamiko washing station includes hand sorting and floating cherries to remove damaged or underdeveloped coffee.  Cherries are then dried on raised beds with regular movement to ensure even drying.
