Rwanda is a country in east-central Africa, the full name of the Republic of Rwanda, located in the south of the equator in east-central Africa, landlocked countries. It is bordered by Tanzania to the east, Burundi to the south, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west and northwest, and Uganda to the north, with a land area of 26338 square kilometers. Most areas belong to tropical plateau climate and savanna climate, mild and cool, with an annual average temperature of 18 ℃.

The whole year is divided into two dry seasons and two rainy seasons, with a heavy rainy season in 3muri-May and a light rainy season in October-December, with an average annual precipitation of 1000murmur1400mm. The area is 26338 square kilometers. There are many mountainous plateaus in Rwanda, with more than 1800 large and small mountains, known as "the country of a thousand hills". There are many hills, swamps and lakes in the east, with dense water networks and vast natural pastures, while the central part is the lowland along the lake.

The northwest is a mountain made up of a group of volcanoes. Rwanda is closest to the equator, but drowns more than 1500 meters above sea level, and the annual average temperature is only 18% C. coupled with abundant rainfall, suitable hydrothermal conditions and picturesque scenery, it is known as "the land of everspring" and "Africa Switzerland".

It was reduced to a "German East African protectorate" in 1890. It was appointed by Belgium after World War I. It was changed to Belgium's "trusteeship" after World War II. In the 1930s, coffee became a necessary crop for producers.

The Belgian government strictly controlled export and imposed high taxes on coffee farmers, forcing Rwanda to move towards high-yield and low-quality coffee production. On July 1, 1962, it declared independence and established a republic. On July 5, 1973, the second Republic was established. In the 1990s, coffee became the most valuable agricultural product for export in Rwanda. The civil war broke out again after Hutu President Habyarimana was killed in a plane crash on April 6, 1994, resulting in a massacre in which nearly one million people were killed. Coupled with the sharp drop in global coffee prices, it has had a huge impact on the coffee industry.

After the genocide coffee production has had a positive impact on the overall recovery of Rwanda. With the attention at home and foreign assistance, the coffee industry has received great attention. With new processing plants in the country, people began to focus on high-quality coffee production.

The first wet treatment plant in China was built in 2004, after which a large number of wet treatment plants began to appear, and now it has exceeded 300 degrees. The Rwanda Joint Partnership for Agricultural Promotion (PEARL) was established to successfully share knowledge and train young agronomists, which eventually evolved into a sustainable partnership for the development of rural enterprises.

Rwandan coffee is absolutely high quality in the form of washed Arabica beans. As far as Africa is concerned, its coffee industry is remarkable because the country thrives mainly by producing the best possible coffee beans. Coffee from Rwanda is becoming more and more popular in the international market.

The mission of the Rwanda Coffee Association is to manage and supervise the operation of the coffee industry in Rwanda from production to sale. The recently revised mission focuses on policy formulation and implementation, with more emphasis on the need to improve the professionalism of the coffee industry and to increase marketing efforts. Since the establishment of the Rwanda Coffee Association, it has promoted the Rwandan coffee culture and promoted the influence of Rwandan coffee.

The treatment of high-altitude Rwandan coffee beans by full-water washing is generally sweet and thick.
