Special Characteristics

Since the 1920s, Arabica coffee grown in Rwanda has been renowned worldwide for its unique fruity sweetness and rich grassy aroma. In recent years, the Rwandan government has taken proactive measures to vigorously promote coffee production, establishing coffee production cooperatives across the country, providing farmers with technical guidance and financial support, leading to significant development in coffee production.

Rwanda: The Land of a Thousand Hills

Rwanda is known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills," with mountainous terrain and highlands throughout the country. Most regions feature a tropical highland climate and tropical savanna climate, characterized by mild and cool weather. Approximately 33,000 hectares of coffee plantations exist, with 500,000 people engaged in coffee cultivation. With excellent natural conditions including high altitude and fertile volcanic soil, the country's exceptionally fertile soil and suitable climate promote vigorous plant growth. Coffee trees seem driven or compelled to grow upward rapidly, yet perhaps because they grow too quickly, they cannot produce the finest coffee beans. The beautiful Land of a Thousand Hills, Rwanda, has a long and rich culture for growing highland coffee, primarily focusing on high-quality Arabica coffee cultivation. Rwanda is one of the few countries in the world that can fully enjoy the harmony between soil, altitude, and climate. In this unique growing environment, high-quality FrontStreet Coffee Rwanda coffee possesses distinctive taste and aroma.
