Situated in the heart of Africa, Rwanda is home to the ideal conditions for cultivating coffee. As a result, the country has positioned itself as one of the leading specialty coffee producers, and is today known for its exceptional quality and unique flavours.
Rwandan coffee farmers have adopted an approach that prioritises quality over quantity. They have learned how to grow, harvest, process, and market their coffee. Farmers across the country have also organised themselves into groups and cooperatives to amplify their efforts and ensure they are growing the world’s finest coffee.
The exquisite coffee produced by Gorilla’s Coffee and the cooperatives we work with is predominantly the bourbon variety, a cultivar of Arabica. It has a smooth and balanced profile, accompanied by a pleasant acidity. Its nuanced flavours stem from the diverse microclimates, high altitudes, and sustainable farming practices employed by dedicated farmers across the country.
Our coffee is more than just a drink – it is also changing lives. The journey from crop to cup is leaving a lasting impact. By choosing Rwandan’s favourite coffee, you are supporting a sector integral to the country’s development. This is because coffee cultivation creates jobs and empowers communities.
