Since the 1920s, Arabica coffee grown in Rwanda has been known worldwide for its unique fruity sweetness and rich grassy aroma. In recent years, the Rwandan government has taken active measures to vigorously promote coffee production, establish coffee production cooperatives in various places, and provide technical guidance and financial support to farmers, so that coffee production has developed greatly.

Rwanda is divided into five major coffee producing areas, and the coffee produced in these five regions is slightly different in flavor and taste. Rwandan coffee tastes sour, but it has a lingering aftertaste. "Good coffee is like Chinese tea. It tastes sweet after drinking it." Mustafari said. Starbucks, a well-known coffee chain, also imports some of its ingredients from Rwanda. Mustafari said that although Rwandan coffee has not yet officially entered the Chinese market, they are working hard and expect to have authentic Rwandan coffee with rich aroma in China within two years.
