About this lot
ORIGIN Rwanda is a landlocked country in the Great Rift Valley and borders other coffee producing countries including Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Affectionately called the ‘land of a thousand hills’, Rwanda enjoys ideal coffee-growing conditions benefitting from high elevations, regular rainfall, volcanic soils with good organic structure and an abundance of the celebrated variety Red Bourbon. The vast majority of Rwandan coffee is produced by smallholder farmers, of which there are thought to be around half a million with parcels of land often not much larger than just one hectare per family. Coffee is grown in most parts of the country, with particularly large concentrations along Lake Kivu and in the southern province. Today, the country enjoys a reputation for producing high quality coffee with distinctive flavour and taste profiles. PRODUCER Gatar
