Rwanda is blessed with particularly good coffee-growing conditions: high altitude, volcanic soil and plenty of sun and equatorial mist.

By riding the booming demand in the developed world for specialty coffee, Rwanda has made premium coffee-growing a national priority and is achieving international recognition as a producer of some of the world’s best coffee.

Coffee was introduced in Rwanda in 1904 by German missionaries. Around 1930, a considerable interest in coffee developed, as it was the sole source of income for rural families. The Rwanda government and international aid agencies have recently provided money for coffee washing stations country wide. Cooperatives formed so that more money would stay in the hands of the coffee farmers.
