Family-owned farm

Founded in 2015 by Rutaganda Gaston and Mukantwaza Laetitia, Rwamatamu Coffee is a family-owned farm and washing station in Kiyube, within the western province of Rwanda.

The farm sits in the surrounding hills of the picturesque Lake Kivu.

For this season’s harvest, we’ve selected both a washed and a natural processed Red Bourbon.

We invite you to discover the subtle differences between these processing methods and how they unfold unique nuances in each cup.

The Producer

In 2023, Rwamatamu invested in a dedicated cupping lab to elevate their quality control and refine their approach to flavour assessment.

This space has become essential for training their team in techniques, deepening their understanding of how processing methods directly influence the final cup.

    Ripe cherries are dried whole commonly on patio’s, drying beds or even the bare earth allowing the bean to ferment naturally encased by its fruit.

    The cherries are turned regularly to reduce the risk of defects and ensure even drying.

    Once the cherries resemble raisins and the target parameters are met the coffee is hulled and sorted in the dry mill.
