The Nyamiyaga coffee washing station (CWS) is located in the South-Western region of Rwanda, less than a couple of hours away from the capital of Kigali. The station is run and operated by Rwacof and offers three different processing methods: fully washed, natural and honey. After being hand-picked the ripest cherries are floated, washed and sorted and the coffee is finished by drying on raised beds.
Rwacof's Kahawatu Foundation and Farmer Hub initiative's main role is to support coffee farming communities on an economic, social and agricultural level. Rwacof is currently conducting a large baseline survey at all the 22 washing stations they run and operate, including Kanyege. The purpose of this data collection is to be able to understand the challenges faced by farmers in their day to day lives and in their farming businesses, and thus support them accordingly. Over 2,000 growers supply the Nyamiyaga washing station, and all benefit from the Farmer hub program.
With tasting notes of milk chocolate, vanilla & nectarine this coffee is perfect for a vibrant and full-bodied espresso that pairs well both with and without milk.
