Ibisi Mountain 237

The Southern Province is one of Rwanda’s five provinces created in the early 2000’s after a restructuring of governmental structures. It is mountainous and contains part of the Nyungwe Forest, a popular tourist destination and one of the last remaining forest areas of Rwanda.

This coffee is sourced from the farmers around the Ibisi Mountain washing station in Nayamagabe, Southern Province. The washing station sits within the hills of Southern Rwanda, located a short drive from the Nyungwe Forest, a national park known for its incredible biodiversity of endemic species. Here, local farmer Bernard Uwitije focused primarily on producing commodity coffee until 2015, when he realized the potential for processing fully-washed specialty coffees in partnership with Rwanda Trading Company.

Rwanda Trading Company was established in 2009 as a vehicle for positive social impact. This group has displayed a consistent commitment to securing economic freedom and security for smallholder farmers by building resilient, transparent supply chains. RTC processes and exports 25% of Rwanda’s annual coffee production.

The resulting cup reminds us of grape, cherry, mango and orange.
