Coffee was introduced in Rwanda in the early 20th century. At this time, coffee was produced only with a focus on volume without any concern for quality. It is only after the country began to rebuild following the genocide that efforts by the Rwandese government were put in place to stimulate the coffee industry. Today there are 315 washing stations across the country.
This coffee is sourced from smallholder farmers around Lake Kivu, Western Province. Through the RWACOF cooperative network, these producers can count on equitable prices for their crop, access to training in agricultural best practices, conservation tactics, and direct access to international markets.
The natural process gives notes of strawberry jam and dried fruits to this coffee.
