Processing Method: Washed, dried on raised African beds

Like many African countries, Rwandan coffee is primarily produced by smallholder farmers. During each harvest season, farmers gather ripe coffee cherries and send them to processing stations for treatment. Farmers pick ripe coffee cherries and concentrate them at processing stations for handling. First, manual selection ensures no unripe or damaged fruits are mixed in. Next, the pulp is removed, followed by a 12-18 hour washed fermentation process in a cool, low-temperature environment. Then, the adhering mucilage is thoroughly cleaned in channels. During the drying process on raised beds, station members carefully turn the beans by hand, ensuring that under sufficient sunlight, the parchment beans don't lose moisture or dry unevenly, until the bean's moisture content stabilizes below 14%.

We have previously introduced several specialty coffees from Rwanda's Nyamasheke region. This carefully selected Mushonyi comes from the Rutsiro region, located north of Nyamasheke and also situated along Lake Kivu. High altitude, fertile volcanic soil, and excellent climate create high-quality coffee. We will continue to deeply explore Rwanda as a gem-producing region. This batch is a direct trade batch purchased from the processing station—the latest fresh harvest from the 2015 season (approximately June to September)!!
