Qianjie-introduction to Rwandan Coffee

Rwanda in Africa seems to be relatively unheard of in the coffee industry and has one of the most tragic coffee histories in East Africa. The story is that after the tragic genocidal civil war of the 1990s, this is the place where high-quality coffee is produced, and the high-quality coffee produced is inextricably linked to the rise of the people. Many of them are called "the land of thousands of mountains", and they are grown with high-growing coffee at an altitude of 1700 to 2000 meters. Rwandan coffee can be world-class. They usually have the best clean and bright flavor comparable to Central American coffee, while Rwandan coffee is more balanced than Kenyan flavor, with attractive ripe fruit sweetness, floral aromas and a tea-like appearance.

Coffee is grown in many areas of Rwanda, but most of the coffee comes from the southern and western regions of Rwanda. Many farms inhabit between 1700 and 2000 MASL above sea level. Coffee has been grown along Lake Kivu (Kivu) from the northern part of Gisenyi to the central regions of Kibuye and Nyamasheke to Cyangugu. In the south, there is a lot of production near Butare. Coffee cultivation in the north is limited and there is a lot of coffee in the Rulindo area north of the capital Kigali. The east also produces a considerable volume, but most of it grows at a low altitude of about 1300 meters.

The government encourages the production of large quantities of unprocessed coffee. Even though coffee production is low, coffee still plays an important role in the country's economic development because it is one of the few cash crops. However, with the collapse of world coffee prices on the international market, it is becoming less and less meaningful to promote low-end Arabica exports. Historically, Rwanda was the ninth largest Arabica coffee producer in Africa, with 500000 small farms with an average farm area of less than 1 hectare.

In short: everything is just for sharing and communication.
