Nestled between steep hills.

We are excited to revisit Gisheke year after year, as we believe Muraho Trading Co are producing some of the best coffees in Rwanda.

Gisheke is uniquely nestled between two steep hills pointing towards Lake Kivu, the Idjwi Island and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The setting on the shores of Lake Kivu make the wind flow ideal for drying high quality lots on raised African beds.

Our selected washed lot reveals red apple sweetness, vanilla and a jam-like body.

The Producer

Muraho Trading Company was formed by two brothers who had a vision to showcase the potential of Rwandan coffee.

The farm has recently seen major refurbishments after being purchased in 2017, now set up to produce complex coffee.

Overlooking Lake Kivu, 40% of the cherries processed at Gisheke are grown on Mushungwe Island and are delivered by boat.

    Grown at 1500-1750 masl

  • Washed

    Ripe cherries are washed and then pulped to remove the majority of skin and fruit from the bean before its fermented.

    Fermentation is brief and helps to remove any remaining material from the pulping process as well as adding complexity to the coffee.

    The coffee is then washed and sun-dried, mechanically dried, or a combination of the two until the desired moisture level is reached.
