Gisheke

The Western Province is one of Rwanda’s five provinces created in the early 2000’s after a restructuring of governmental structures. It is know for its mountainous terrains and hosts one of the great African lakes, Lake Kivu.

This coffee is sourced from the farmers around the Gisheke washing station in Nyamasheke, Western Province. Gisheke is a washing station that is currently only accessible by boat or by foot. The surrounding area is inhabited by approximately 200 Rwandan families. These families grow coffee and contribute their cherries to Gisheke. Josue, the station manager, is highly focused on improvements in all aspects but finds the most fulfillment comes with noticeable impact on processing.

The resulting cup reminds us of plum and molasses.
