There are about 33000 hectares of coffee plantations in Rwanda, with 500000 people engaged in the coffee industry. With the good natural conditions of high altitude and fertile volcanic soil, the country's fertile soil and suitable climate contribute to plant growth, and coffee trees seem to be driven or forced to grow upward, or because they grow too fast to produce the best coffee beans. The beautiful country of thousands of hills Rwanda has a long and rich culture for growing highland coffee, mainly high-quality Arabica coffee. Rwanda is the only country in the world that can fully enjoy the harmony between soil, altitude and climate. In this unique growing environment, high-quality coffee from Rwanda has a distinctive taste and aroma. Bourbon coffee grown in Rwanda is one of the original varieties of Arabica coffee Rwanda is a small African country, the local people are also relatively poor, but it produces straight and very good coffee, unlike its neighbors Kenya and Ethiopia, Rwanda's coffee is mainly round bourbon, the taste is not as prominent as Ethiopia and Kenya, but the evenness is excellent.

Rwanda Karnogi coffee is planted and harvested by local small farmers and washed by Gitesi Washing Station. Although this is a relatively young coffee processing plant, it has always been famous for producing high quality Rwandan coffee because of its responsible working attitude, good treatment equipment and standard processing procedures. Rwanda Karnogi coffee won the first Arward Winnner on CoE in 2013. This coffee bean shape is a typical bourbon shape. Round beans, glittering and translucent, treated very cleanly, with little residual silver skin and green color, the sink technician who is suitable for medium-to-shallow baking processing will clean and process immediately, because the delay will ferment the sugary outer layer of coffee beans, ruining the taste of the coffee. The coffee beans are first thrown into a deep trough, and the best quality coffee fruit goes into the bottom and passes through a machine that peels off its skin. The mechanic takes out the floating coffee fruit, processes it in the same way and allows the cooperative to sell it at a lower price in the domestic market. Coffee beans through three cooperative peeling and selection machines, remove the skin and sugary outer layer, and then let the coffee beans individually through the vibrating filter. The filter separates the highest quality A beans from those classified as Class B; the two grades are transported to the hills with a 1% slope of the waterway. In the process of transportation, coffee beans of all qualities are further classified, and there are about 15 sinks at the bottom of the channel that can capture different kinds of coffee beans. Coffee beans are preserved continuously in water. Grade A beans and grade B beans stay for two days and 15-20 hours respectively to slightly ferment and convert the remaining sugar without serious damage to the taste.
