Rwanda Jean Bosco Habimana Filter - Single Origin.

Purchasing a coffee linked to a single producer in Rwanda is very uncommon so we are fortunate to be able to offer this exceptional lot from Jean Bosco Habimana and Emerthe Nyiramajyambere’s farm, Akanduga-Mbilima.

Most of the coffees from Rwanda are traceable back to a washing station, or sometimes a farmer group. Most washing stations in Rwanda receive cherry from a large number of farmers who own very small plots of land; on average less than a quarter hectare, with just 300-600 coffee trees. Separation of such tiny lots is expensive and impractical, so the large majority of coffees are processed as a mixed lot from multiple producers. Typically, lots are separated as day lots rather than by a single farm or producer group.

Single farm microlots like this one are difficult to access, especially from such a small producer. Jean Bosco owns 460 trees. In this case, it is made possible because Jean is a member of the Dukunde Kawa Cooperative, who also employ him as Manager of their Mbilima washing station. Because Dukunde Kawa operate their own dry mill, they can process smaller lots individually, whilst minimising cost and maintaining excellent quality standards.

$2 of each bag of this coffee sold goes directly to the Supporting Strong Women campaign, benefiting the dedicated Rambagirakawa women's group in Rwanda. Each donation helps with the construction of a daycare centre at Dukunde Kawa’s HQ, to service the women of Rambagirakawa and the wider coffee producing community.
