Rwanda - Nyamiyaga

Farmers selectively handpick cherry and deliver it to Nyamiyaga washing station. Upon intake, station employees float and hand sort the coffee in order to remove any visible defects or low-density beans. 

For natural lots, such as this one, the perfectly ripe cherry is then laid in a thin layer on raised beds to dry in the sun where it is turned frequently to ensure even drying.

Despite its turbulent history, today Rwanda is one of the specialty coffee world’s darlings – for good reason! Producers in Rwanda do an amazing job of bringing the best that Rwanda has to offer to roasters around the world.
