A história do café

Kirehe is a farm that delivers cherry to the Kigeme Coffee Washing Station in the Southern Province of Rwanda. This is Grade A is an exclusive single-farm lot from one of the few bigger farms in the area. Kigeme CWS is also well-known for the experience of its staff and the quality of the coffees. It is one of Caferwa's CWS with the greatest potential for high-quality lots due to the high altitude of the farms, that can be located as high as 2500 m above sea level! The farms sit around the Nyungwe rainforest, a region that has intense rains that help with the maturation of the cherries. The altitude also allows farmers to use fewer chemical inputs and some are currently undergoing the organic certification process.

About Kigeme CWS
Manager: Rutaganda Simon Pierre
Foundation year: 2017
Number of members: 860 farmers
Altitude range of the farms: From 2000 to 2500 m
Soil: Sandy clay loam
Average farm size: 1 ha 
Climate: Tropical 
Average yearly rainfall: 110 mm

Process: After sorting and floating, the coffee is pulped and fermented without water for 16 to 20 hours. Once the mucilage is loose, the beans are rinsed on washing channels and taken to raised beds to dry for up to 24 days with constant moving of the beds and monitoring of moisture content 
“We started working on micro-lots 3 years ago when some American customers asked if we could do it. We began separating lots based on altitude (1800m and above), quality profile and some on farm. We had support from a person who used to do this type of coffee in Kenya. Micro-lots require a lot more dedication and special attention. Of our washing stations, I believe that Kigeme is one of the ones with highest potential for quality because of the altitude, the age of the trees and the quality of the soil. On top of that, we maintain very rigorous processing methods.”

O processamento

Washed coffee is the process where the coffee bean has had various layers of the coffee cherry removed before the drying process begins. Water is used to wash off the mucilage accumulated during the fermentation process ❖ Coffee cherries are picked at their optimum ripeness ❖ Cherries are sorted in a floatation tank, where unripe ones float are removed. ❖ Drying cherries in sunlight on a dense surface to force fermentation ❖ Frequent racking and turning takes place for even fermentation of the cherries ❖ Sorting of the best coffee cherries ❖ Ensure humidity level to be at 12% ❖ Cover with shade net and nylex at night and during rainy season Packaging and storage of the best coffee beans is done from our main Stock. ❖ Hulling will be done at our Nkora estate Dry Mill located in Rutsiro District. ❖ Sorting green coffee will be done at CAFERWA warehouse
