Kawa Yacu - Rwanda
This special lot comes to us from the Women Coffee Extension (WCE) at the Mbizi Coffee Washing Station in Karongi, Rwanda. Founded in 2017 by Aline Christine and Odette Uwamariya, the WCE is a women’s coffee cooperative focused on creating a space for female specialty coffee producers to have a stronger voice in Rwandan coffee production. Today, the WCE has over 700 female coffee producer members.
The WCE is focused on educating and empowering their members. They offer services such as family planning, nutrition programs, agricultural practices and even providing cows and goats to their members. The washing station has seen increased plant yields, and has grown from producing 3 shipping containers to 6 containers of green coffee in just a few years.
The WCE plans to keep expanding programs for their members, as well as RFA certifications. They have goals to provide cows to all of their members, cover health insurance for a majority of members, build a sewing center for young people in order to create new jobs and even build a Nursery School to help the kids in the area, to name a few.
This fully-washed Rwanda boasts a sugary, raspberry tea-like sweetness, a pleasant savoriness and tart lemon brightness.
