Description of flavor of coffee beans in Rwanda introduction of grinding scale of taste treatment method in manor area

Rwanda is a small African country, and the local people are 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, suitable for medium-to-shallow roasting. 10 seconds after the explosion, there were about 33000 hectares of coffee plantations in Rwanda and 500000 people were 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.

In 2000, the Mayor of Malaba requested development assistance from the National University of Rwanda (UNR), which is located near the city of Butare, and the following year, the National University of Rwanda assisted in the establishment of the Joint strengthening Rwanda Agricultural Partnership (PEARL). The PEARL project is also supported by several organizations: the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Michigan State University, Texas A & M University, and many other Rwandan organizations, including the National University of Rwanda, the National Agricultural Laboratory (ISAR) and the Gejali Institute of Technology Management (KIST). In February 2001, PEARL began working with Abauzam Gamby to improve the quality of coffee to meet the standards of the professional coffee market in the United States, and then sell the coffee to the United States.

The first problem for Malaba coffee farmers is to set up a cleaning station. The coffee fruit must be transported to the cleaning station to wash the sugar under the skin of the coffee bean within 12 hours after picking, otherwise the flavor of the coffee will be greatly damaged. In July 2001, with funding from UNR, the Ministry of Culture and Industry of Rwanda (Office des Cultures Industrielles du Rwanda,OCIR-Caf é), ACDI/VOCA and ISAR, they set up the first cleaning station near the main road in the Cyarumbo district. However, the cleaning station was not opened until the harvest time, so only 200 kilograms (441 pounds) of the harvest were washed that year. However, the result was surprisingly good. In 2002, the cleaning station was upgraded to supply more coffee processing. ACDI/VOCA is responsible for funding the construction of pipelines to bring in Mount Huye mineral water and help improve the efficiency of cleaning stations. The pipeline was opened in March 2002.
