🇷🇼 Rwanda Victoria Mukamurenzi 🇷🇼
Washed

It is very rare to be able to get a coffee that is traceable back to a single producer in Rwanda, so we feel extremely fortunate to be able to share this special lot from Victoria Mukamurenzi’s farm Kinyonzo-Jango, courtesy of our friends at Melbourne Coffee Merchants.
Usually in Rwanda coffees are traceable back to their respective washing station but rarely are the individual farmers identifiable. This marks a special case and allows us the ability to credit Victoria directly for this wonderful washed Red Bourbon.
One of the reasons this lot separation is possible is that Victoria is a member of the Dukunde Kawa Cooperative, who operate their own dry mill, where they can process smaller lots individually, whilst minimising cost and maintaining excellent quality standards.
With the forming of cooperatives like Dukunde Kawa, farmers were provided with the support, education and resources necessary to adopt better farming practices, and processing moved to centralised washing stations – where shared infrastructure, equipment and adequate labour both minimised the workload for individuals and dramatically improved the coffee’s quality.

When the Rambagirakawa women’s group was founded, Victoria was one of the first members to join. A savvy and entrepreneurial woman, Victoria had the idea of teaching fellow Rambagira members to weave baskets and handicrafts, with the goal of generating extra money during the off-harvest period. The idea was well-received by the group, and is now one of their main income-generating activities. Victoria’s leadership within the group was recognised when she was named Vice-President of Rambagirakawa. In this role, she assists in the managing of the group’s finances, liaises with Dukunde Kawa’s leadership on behalf of the group, and develops projects.
