Bugoyi is one of Emma Rusatira's main CWS. It is located in a village called Buhimba, where the main economic activities are trade, coffee farming and fishing (due to its proximity to Lake Kivu). The village is well known for its proximity to the nationwide famous Nkora market. Local farmers celebrate the Ubusabane, a common celebration with drinking, eating and dancing, and always perform the umuganda, which is the general community cleaning that takes place all over Rwanda.

"At our CWS we have been blessed to witness an interesting tradition developed by farmers and our staff. During the coffee season, they all try their best to save some money which they later combine. They come together as a general community and have a big party. There is dancing, eating, drinking and a coffee Q&A challenge!"

The coffees coming from Bugoyi are consistently amazing. Located on the shore of Lake Kivu, the CWS is blessed with gentle winds to cool the beans and soft sunlight to dry the coffee evenly. We love to bring visitors to Bugoyi as the view on the Lake is absolutely stunning. You can expect clean coffees with a full-body and fruity tasting notes like
raspberry, plums, and black currant.

Emma supports farmers with access to fertilisers and donations of seedlings, helps them to check the condition of their trees and trains them through the Farmer Field Schools with GAP analysis, aimed at understanding agronomic conditions, practices, challenges, and farmer attitudes. Furthermore, he supports the farmers by covering their social insurance and giving them second payments at the end of the crop.
 
Baho developed its own grading system that goes one step beyond the traditional grading in Rwanda. All Baho stations employ their own extended grading system to separate beans into different qualities and sizes. They provide three sizes of beans: A, B and C. Grade A are the largest and of the highest quality. At Baho Coffee stations, grade A is further separated into two grades(A+, A-) and grade B into two separate grades (B+, B-), with C remaining a single grade. This is done for all washed coffee.

“Baho means "stay alive" or  "be strong", "don't give up". It is the kind of thing you say to friends when they tell you of their misfortunes or problems. When they want to give up. You hug them and say "Baho!". You give them comfort. This is what I aim to achieve with my company and the coffees we produce, to give comfort to the ones who drink it and the ones who grow it. It is something that is deeply connected to my personal history as a genocide survivor and to the journey of coffee. Coffee is a crop that goes through many difficulties. It is hit by the weather, by bad management,  then you pick it, heat if with fire…  If you could ask coffee to tell you its journey you’d cry. I believe coffee can, in fact, speak. And for me, it says something like... Baho.”

O processamento

Our naturals have really long drying periods and are heavily monitored. During the first 4 to 5 days the cherries stay under the open sun to avoid the formation of mould. After that, if the humidity is correct, we start drying under the shade and turning the bed every 3 hours. When the coffee reaches around 17% of humidity we take it out of the shade but continue to avoid the open sun so that the evaporation process is slow. We stop it at around 11.25% to 12.5%. The process takes at least 40 days. We avoid potato defect firstly in the farms where the farmers are trained on fighting against the Antestia bug and proper IPM, also via cherry sorting and floating, parchment sorting and green coffee sorting. Humidity is monitored by measuring the moisture content of each lot. The allowed MC is 11.5%. Parchment and green coffee are stored on a palette with good environmental conditions.
