Mbare Washed
Rwanda
Blackcurrant / Dulce De Leche / Coconut
story
This coffee was processed at Rwamatamu’s Mbare washing station, situated in Muhanga, Southern Province. Rwamatamu is a family-owned coffee producer that was established in 2015 by husband and wife team Rutaganda Gaston and Mukantwaza Laeticia.
Community is a huge focus for Rwamatamu, and as such the team have strong relationships with the farmers in Nymasheke and Mbare that they work with. The team also run community groups in both of these locations.
In Nyamasheke is the Women’s Cooperative, where Rwamatamu have purchased land and provided seedlings and training for local women interested in coffee production. The women cultivate and sell coffee back to Rwamtamu, providing an alternative income source outside of seasonal employment, fostering long-term financial stability for the women in the valley.
In Mbare, a similar project is being run as a Youth Association with locals age 18 - 35. This is to encourage the interest and skills of younger generations in coffee farming.
