Qianjie-introduction to Rwandan Coffee

Rwanda has the most interesting coffee history in East African countries. After the unfortunate genocidal civil war of the 1990s, the people of Rwanda moved forward in an increasingly high spirit, and its high-quality coffee is inextricably linked.

Rwanda is known as the Land of a Thousand Hills, so many coffees are grown at an altitude of 1700 to 2000 meters above sea level (MASL). Rwandan coffee can reach the top level in the world. They usually have a clean and bright taste, comparable to the best coffee in Central America and more balanced than Kenyan coffee, with charming sweet fruit, floral aromas and tea-like flavors.

Coffee is grown in many areas here, but most of it comes from the south and west. Many farms are located between 1700 and 2000 meters above sea level. Coffee grows along the banks of Lake Lake Kivu, from the northern part of Gisenyi to the central regions of Kibuye and Nyamasheke, and all the way to Cyangugu. Butare in the south also produces a lot of coffee. The amount of coffee grown in the north is limited, with much of it concentrated in the Rulindo area north of the capital, Kigali. Coffee production in the east is also high, but most of it grows in areas with low elevations of about 1300 meters.

After picking the coffee fruits, they are usually put into the water to remove the lighter ones. The pulp removal process usually uses a Kenyan disc crusher, which contains a classifier that can distinguish between lighter and heavier coffee beans. Lighter coffee beans are selected and sent to secondary shellers and separate low-level fermentors for grade B and C coffee. Coffee beans with high weight and density are sent to A-level coffee bean fermentors, where they will eventually be recognized as A1, A2 and A3 quality.
