Lot N535: Gasharu Coffee / Muhororo

Producer Story:

The farms from which coffee cherries processed at Muhororo Coffee Washing Station of Gasharu Coffee, are located on the shores of Lake Kivu, near the Rwanda Congo Nile Mountain Chain and a stone’s throw from Nyungwe Forest National Park which is one of the largest montane and most preserved montane rainforests in Central Africa, home to huge biodiversity and an estimated 25% of Africa’s primates. This region’s elevation, soil, and climate are what coffee trees love best. No surprise then that fantastic coffees come from our land.
This coffee is the result of our curiosity to explore new methods of naturals to attain the best flavours and tastes. The final recipe of this coffee was selected after a series of trials in which we slowly refined the process that finally resulted in this flavour profile.
Throughout the year, Gasharu Coffee Ltd holds small group meetings with coffee farmers to catch up on life, discuss the challenges in coffee farming and advise on the opportunities.The processing at the washing station is carried out by young coffee farmers and the sorting on tables by slightly older coffee farmers, mainly women, providing them with more income.
