Rwanda is known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills," many of which are planted with coffee! Rwanda coffee can be world class. This small landlocked nation is a patchwork of cultivated crops, coffee being the most important source of income for the small farmer. Most farms are very high altitude, between 1700 and 2000 meters.
They often have clean bright flavors rivaling the best Central America coffees, more balance than Kenyas, attractive fruited sweetness, floral characteristics, and with a tea-like finish. It is a place where the production of high-quality coffee is inextricably linked to the rising spirit of a population after the tragic genocidal civil war of the 1990s.
You can read more about the way we source Rwandan green coffee, and link to our videos and travelogues, on our Rwanda Coffee Library page.
