2016 Rwanda Coffee Shopping Guide _ recommendation of Rwanda Coffee Specialty _ what to buy in Rwanda Tourism

Rwanda because of dense forests, humid climate, so the coffee beans produced rich aroma, natural with fruit flavor and floral fragrance.

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.

Coincidentally, Bonello, a female tourist from Atlanta, USA, hurried to Rwanda Pavilion. "It's the last day of my two-week trip to China, and my mom is a coffee lover, so I have to bring her some good coffee. I was recommended Rwandan coffee, so I came." Mustafari generously presented Bonilo with a bag of Rwandan coffee, and Bonilo thanked him for his joy.

Rwanda is known as "the country of thousands of hills". It has many mountains and plateaus throughout the country. Most of the areas have tropical plateau climate and tropical grassland climate, which is mild and cool. There are approximately 33,000 hectares of coffee plantations and 500,000 people engaged in coffee farming. Rwanda is one of the only countries in the world where you can enjoy the perfect balance between soil, altitude and climate. Rwanda has the unique conditions for growing Arabica coffee. Fertile volcanic soil, abundant rainfall and suitable temperature all year round make our coffee taste different.

Rwanda, the beautiful country of a thousand hills, has a long and rich culture of growing highland coffee, mainly high-quality Arabica coffee. Rwanda produces 20% of this specialty coffee and is very popular on the international market. In this unique growing environment, Rwanda's high-quality coffee has a distinctive taste and aroma. Rwanda plans to export 3000 tonnes of coffee this year, further boosting production to meet increasing demand, according to marketing and promotion officer of the Rwanda Coffee Association, Karuretwa. Starbucks, the world's largest coffee retailer, has partnered with the Rwandan government to import Rwandan coffee, just as a coffee-colored dove flies from a coffee cup against the words "Cup of Hope" on the Rwandan coffee label.

Bourbon coffee, grown in Lutechiro, Western Rwanda, is one of the original varieties of Arabica coffee. With its high-quality washed Arabica coffee beans, eye-catching, in the international market is also growing awareness.

Rwandan coffee, like many African countries, is mainly produced by small farmers. During the harvest period, the ripe coffee cherries are collected and sent to the processing station for processing. Mushonyi's winning record is amazing. In addition to winning the COE Excellence Cup in 2010, Mushonyi won the championship in four batches in 2011, 12th, 16th and 28th!!! Every year, farmers gather ripe coffee berries for processing at processing stations, first picking them by hand to ensure that no immature or damaged fruit is mixed in. Then remove the peel, wash and ferment for 12-18 hours under cool and low temperature environment, and clean the adhered pectin in the channel. During the drying process, the members of the processing station will manually turn and carefully care to ensure that the shelled green beans do not lose moisture or dry unevenly in full sunlight until the moisture content stability of the green beans drops to less than 14%.

The taste of Rwandan coffee is described as "grassy aroma" with tropical climate characteristics. In addition to the fruity sweetness of this coffee, it can also taste refreshing, clear and fresh. Bourbon coffee grown in Rwanda is marvellous for its fruity sweetness, its rich, full-bodied aroma, and its long aftertaste. This coffee has a delicious, citrus sweet aroma and a deep chocolate color, with red apple, cherry, cinnamon and honey, excellent sweetness and balance, cinnamon, almond, chocolate aftertaste.

Indeed, coffee holds the hopes of the Rwandan people. They hope to increase coffee exports to drive the country's economic development, but also hope that Hutu and Tutsi, the two major tribes that once hated each other, will work together to build a better tomorrow by planting coffee and eliminating hatred. After carefully tasting Rwandan bourbon, I think it tastes really good and worth recommending.
