Introduction to the coffee producing area of Rwanda in Qianjie
Rwanda Rwanda was brought in by German missionaries in 1904, but it was not until 1917 that Rwanda produced enough coffee to export. After World War I, the Trustee Council of the League of Nations (the League of Nations Mandate) revoked Germany's colonial right to Rwanda and handed over the trust to Belgium. As a result, coffee from Rwanda has been exported to Belgium.
The first coffee tree was planted at Mibirizi Monastery in Cyangugu province, which became the name of the first coffee variety in Rwanda, a variety of bourbon coffee. After that, coffee cultivation gradually expanded to the Kivu district, and finally to the whole of Rwanda. By the 1930s, coffee began to become a must-have crop for producers, as was the case in Burundi, another Belgian colony.
Rwandan coffee can be traced back to wet treatment plants and different coffee farmers' groups and cooperatives. Each coffee producer has an average of only 183 trees, so it is impossible to go back to a single producer.
Rwanda, with a population of about 11 million, produced 300000 bags (60kg/ bags) in 2013, and coffee is grown throughout Rwanda, so there are no geographical restrictions. Coffee roasters can use the name of the region plus the name of the wet treatment plant or coffee grower group when marking. Main producing areas:
