Luanda Red Bourbon Buf Café Small Farm Coffee Bean Introduction

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

Luanda is located in the heart of the interior of Africa. Its fertile mountain terrain and ancient traditional bourbon species indicate that the natural environment needed to grow high-quality coffee beans can be seen everywhere in Luanda. Coffee was introduced to Luanda by German missionaries in 1904. Since it was the only income-earning crop for rural farmers in 1930, coffee cultivation began to flourish. Whether it was Arabica harvested in March-June or Robusta harvested in May-June, the government encouraged the production of coffee with low quality and high yield. even if the poor quality played an important role in the economic development of Luanda at that time, because it was one of the few crops that could earn cash, as global coffee prices collapsed, it continued to promote the policy of exporting low-quality Arabica coffee. Changes are bound to be made.

The 1994 genocide claimed nearly 500000 lives and almost wiped out the knowledge and technology of coffee bean growing. at the same time, the price of coffee beans around the world also fell sharply, making the coffee industry in Luanda even worse. Luanda's coffee industry is now on the rise again, hoping to re-establish the infrastructure needed for the production and processing of boutique coffee beans at a steady pace. The most eye-catching is the Joint strengthening Luanda Agricultural Partnership Program (PEARL), which is mainly to help Luanda rebuild agricultural institutions, production capacity and cultivate agricultural talents to help local small farms sell coffee beans directly to buyers in the boutique coffee market. Unlike its neighboring country Kenya, Ethiopia has a centralized auction system, but its agricultural cooperatives can buy and sell directly with buyers. However, if coffee beans are to be exported from landlocked countries, they must travel 1500 kilometers to the port of Mombasa Mombasa in Kenya or the port of Dares-Salam Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, after the exercise of the 2007 Crop of Gold' Golden Bean Competition. Luanda then held its first C.O.E coffee competition in 2008, which drew more buyers' attention to Luanda's high-quality bourbon beans.

In June 2011, the 100% red bourbon was planted more than 1900 meters south of Luanda. Epiphanie Mukashyaka is the owner and operator of the farm. She is a very active female entrepreneur and a model for women entrepreneurs in the Luanda coffee industry and other industries. Epiphanie lost her husband in the 1994 genocide, but she chose to stick to the small coffee farm left by the family. And began to actively rebuild and develop the cause with the local people. Buf Caf é, founded by Ms. Epiphanie Mukashyaka, has been in operation since 2000, during which she received a loan from the Luanda Development Bank and the assistance of the Joint strengthening Luanda Agricultural Partnership Program (PEARL Programme).

Buf Caf é now owns two washing plants, grows its own coffee trees and buys coffee cherries from more than 2, 000 small farms nearby. Some of these small farmers are directly employed by Buf Caf é or work in Buf Cafe washing plants, where their wages are higher than the local average. Buf Cafe believes that employees will be more willing to work if they get a higher salary. And take pride in the good quality of coffee produced by Buf. Facts have proved that this idea is correct. Buf's quality control is very strict. Several batches of C.O.E Coffee Competition in Luanda in 2008 and 2010, respectively, are the best coffee companies in Luanda. The income from selling coffee is mainly used for children's school, medical expenses and investment in other poultry and livestock (such as buying a dairy cow to obtain milk for local sale). Direct Coffee introduced this coffee is collected by hand and hand-selected beans are washed and dried in the traditional African-style high-bed sun-dried Buf Cafe top red bourbon beans.
