Rwanda

Natural

Bourbon

1700 masl

Tasting notes: strawberry, green apple, caramel

After a visit to Rwanda over 10 years ago and learning of its past, working with them was always a must. This is a vibrant natural-processed Rwandan coffee, bursting with sweet berry notes and lively acidity. We proudly support Rwanda’s coffee industry, honouring its resilient history while helping farmers build a thriving future through quality, sustainability, and community-driven growth.

Bernard Uwitije, the owner of Bwenda, is from Nyamagabe in Southern Rwanda, a region known for its coffee production. He started by trading locally processed coffee, then moved into washed coffee processing. In 2016, Bernard opened his first wet mill near his hometown and spent a year learning the process. The following year, he opened a second station to improve his ability to process larger volumes while maintaining quality.

In 2018, Bernard founded Bwenda after realizing that many isolated farmers lacked access to quality coffee processing. The first season in 2019 saw only one container of cherries processed, but since then, Bernard has been focused on supporting local farmers through extension services and expanding the wet mill’s capacity.
