Rwanda | Kirambo Coffee - Nyamasheke

About this coffee

Kirambo coffee washing station sits on a hill with land stretching to the shores of lake Kivu. The station was constructed in 2008, for many years it was not operating in stability because the owner did not have the financing for working capital, and the station was rented out to different people every year. For all those years, farmers lacked a consistent partner who would support them beyond buying coffee cherries. RTC purchased Kirambo in 2017, and operated it for the first time in the harvest of 2018. The quality of the coffee and the openness of the farmers at Kirambo have allowed RTC to produce high cupping washed and natural coffee. Today RTC is focused on improving farmers farming practices, rejuvenate their farms, and create tools for the small holder farmers to have access to financing through farmer saving groups and partnership with local banks.
