Rwanda can be said to be one of the fast-growing fine coffee producing countries in East Africa. In addition to the sad stories about the Rwandan massacre, the quality of its fine coffee has also improved very quickly. We have tested several fresh, elegant and sour cups this year.

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. 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%.
