Bean Region > Huye District, Rwanda

Huye Mountain Coffee is a private washing station established in 2011 to provide farmers in the region with access to international markets and buyers of speciality coffees. Around 1,330 producers deliver their freshly picked coffee cherries to 26 collecting stations around the Huye community, where a truck visits daily to collect the farmers’ coffee during harvest season.

This unique coffee comes from the Huye Mountain in the Huye District, in Southern Rwanda, at growing altitudes ranging from 1600 to 2200 meters. This natural-processed coffee is dried on raised African beds for between 14 and 28 days, depending on the weather, during which time the coffee is turned regularly and rigorously evaluated for quality.
