Rwanda Maraba coffee has been cultivated since colonial times. Although coffee is the main crop, the quality of coffee produced in Rwanda is not outstanding. The status of coffee in the world is low and few people care about it. Rwanda grows mostly bourbon coffee varieties. Rwanda, known as the "country of thousands of hills", has a high altitude mountain environment, fertile volcanic soil and abundant rainfall, which is conducive to the growth of coffee trees. The advantages of varieties combined with excellent natural conditions should have produced high-quality coffee, but why is the coffee quality not satisfactory? The reason lies in the later processing links. Improper processing will reduce the quality of coffee and sacrifice many good flavors in vain. Harvesting, planting, processing, grading, transportation and other links will directly affect the quality of coffee beans, in which the lack of control in a certain link will become a stumbling block to make good coffee.

Coffee fruits need to be transported to the processing plant as soon as possible after picking, but due to lack of facilities in the country, it is impossible to process the fruits in the first time. The fruits accumulate together after being picked, and lack of ventilation will continue to accelerate mold and rot. The rotten fruits will affect the quality of coffee and appear defective flavor.

Rwanda, however, has made great progress in the production and processing of maraba coffee in recent years. First, coffee fruit is picked manually; coffee production cooperatives are set up all over the country to provide technical guidance to coffee farmers; coffee farmers send coffee processing stations for cleaning and screening as soon as possible after picking, and select mature and high-quality coffee fruits for processing.

The mission of the Rwandan Coffee Association is to manage and supervise the operation of the Rwandan coffee industry from production to marketing. The recently revised mission focuses on policy formulation and implementation, with greater emphasis on efforts to improve professionalism and marketing in the coffee industry. Since its inception, the Rwandan Coffee Association has been instrumental in promoting Rwandan coffee culture and influence.

Rwanda is a small African country, and the local people are also relatively poor, but it produces very good straight coffee, which is different from its neighbors Kenya and Ethiopia. Rwanda's coffee is mainly round bourbon, and the taste is not as prominent as Ethiopia and Kenya, but the uniformity is excellent.
