Muhazi CWS
Youth Coffee Club Ltd
Lot 5
This competition lot represents the dedication and care that
define coffee production at Muhazi CWS. The coffee cherries were
selectively handpicked at peak ripeness and delivered to the
washing station within 12 hours of harvesting to preserve their
quality and freshness.
Upon arrival, the cherries underwent flotation to remove
low-density cherries, followed by careful sorting to ensure only
the finest cherries were processed. The coffee was then dried under
the sun for four days before being rested in a ventilated storage
area for 24 hours. After resting, it returned to the drying beds
where it was slowly and evenly dried until the optimal moisture
level was achieved.
Every step of the process was carefully monitored to maintain the
integrity of the coffee and highlight its unique characteristics.
This lot showcases the quality standards of Muhazi CWS. Beyond this
competition lot, we have the capacity to prepare and supply larger
volumes of coffee while maintaining the same high standards of
quality and traceability.

About the Farm
At Muhazi CWS, we chose to grow our own coffee because we
believe that exceptional coffee begins with exceptional farming. In
our area of Muhanga District, many farmers cultivate coffee
alongside other crops. We decided to dedicate our land entirely to
coffee so that every tree could receive the attention needed to
produce outstanding quality.
From the day the seedlings were planted, we have carefully managed
every stage of production. Our coffee trees are regularly mulched,
properly maintained, and treated at the right time to ensure
healthy growth and high-quality cherries. We have followed this
coffee’s journey from young plants to productive trees,
giving it the care and dedication required to reach its full
potential.
Our farm is in Karama Village, Nganzo Cell, Muhanga Sector, Muhanga
District, Southern Province, Rwanda, at an altitude of
approximately 1,750 meters above sea level, near the Tereza River.
The fertile soils, cool climate, and favorable growing conditions
contribute to the unique character and quality of our coffee.
This coffee lot represents years of patience, hard work, and
commitment. It is more than a harvest; it is a reflection of our
passion as farmers and our belief that great coffee starts on the
farm. By presenting this lot in the competition, we are proud to
share not only a coffee with exceptional quality but also a story
of dedication, perseverance, and a deep respect for the land that
sustains us.
