Kayumbu Washing Station

Kayumbu Station, in the Nyamagabe District, was originally built by the Rwandan army to handle large volumes of coffee cherries during peak harvest. Since its purchase by RWACOF in 2013, the station has become a hub for over 1,055 smallholder farmers, each contributing coffee cherries grown on small plots. This naturally processed lot is only produced at the beginning and end of the harvest season, when volumes are lighter and greater care can be taken. After floatation to remove lower quality cherries, trained staff hand-sort the remaining fruit before sun drying for three weeks. The result is a zesty and fruity coffee profile with sweet notes of nectarine, red apple and raisins. Purchasing coffee from this region supports the Farmgate Initiative, that focuses on sustainable coffee farming practices to attain higher yields.
