The Story:

This farm is a family run business owned and operated by Mukantwaza Laetitia and Rutaganda Gaston, who have been in the coffee sector for 13+ years. They founded Rwamatamu in 2015 aiming for a financial gain but also contribute to fight against poverty in rural communities through harvesting coffee.

Rwamatamu Coffee Ltd has 20 hectares of coffee plantation from where it harvests its own cherries but also purchases cherries from affiliate co-operatives and local producer families and smallholder farmers. These cherries from different sources are separately collected, processed, sundried, sorted bagged and eventually exported as a premium product.

Rwamatamu’s Coffee has been sold not only in the USA but also in Sweden. Rwamatamu coffee ltd also participated and was greatly qualified in « Cup Of Excellence » coffee competition.

The farm is positioned on 1600 up to 2000 meters altitude, on a rich volcanoes soil. The harvest season is January to March.

Coffee from Rwamatamu is fully washed with spring water, sun dried and handpicked to a high standard. Currently they are in the process of gaining their organic and fair-trade certifications. They work to have a positive social and economic impact on farmer communities, focusing on women in particular.
