Lot F445-b: Rwamatamu Coffee

Producer Story:

Founded by Laetitia and Gaston, known as Mama and Papa B, Rwamatamu Coffee transforms our Rwandan community while supporting our family. Our coffee grows mainly in the Western province where the rich volcanic soil and refreshing breezes imbue each bean with exceptional taste and aroma. Our dedication to quality and consistency has earned us top accolades: 3rd place in the Best of Rwanda competition in 2024 and TOP 10 in other international competitions.
At Rwamatamu Coffee, we excel through family collaboration, blending tradition and innovation. Our core values—Community, Integrity and Sustainability—shine through in every bean. Gaston's commitment to strong relationships with smallholder farmers ensures exceptional quality and mutual respect. We reinvest in our community by providing healthcare, supporting women's associations with goats for fertilize, and empowering youth associations. We prioritize staff education to ensure excellence at every level.
Kayitesi, a woman coffee grower in Nyamasheke District, is a standout member of the women's association sponsored by Rwamatamu Coffee. Her cherries are renowned for their exceptional quality, resulting from a testament to her meticulous farming practices and the robust support for access to superior seedlings and advanced agricultural techniques through Rwamatamu Coffee's sponsorship.
