This coffee is clear proof that cooperation and trust between farmers can bring not only top quality, but also a better life for the entire community. In 2012, a small cooperative of farmers in Rwanda decided to build their own mini processing station. Its goal was simple: to enable local farmers to process coffee on site and thus preserve maximum quality and added value. In 2018, Tropic Coffee joined the collaboration and continues to manage the station today. It helps farmers not only with coffee sales, but also with securing a stable income, health insurance, and education for their children. This coffee grows on volcanic soil, sprinkled with tropical rainfall and enjoying stable temperatures all year round. Thanks to these conditions, the coffee trees have enough time for the cherries to ripen slowly, which has a positive effect on the flavor. The Red Bourbon variety grown here is traditionally widespread in Rwanda and known for its delicate sweetness, balanced acidity, and great complexity.
After careful hand-picking, the cherries are taken to a washing station, where they undergo a so-called floating process before being processed using the natural method. This removes unripe or overripe fruits. Drying takes place naturally on raised African beds and lasts approximately 30 days. During this time, the coffee is turned regularly to ensure even drying and the richest possible profile.
