The Kungahara Women's Group is a coffee producer organization based in the Western Province of Rwanda, cultivating coffee at high elevations ranging from 1,700 to 2,000 meters above sea level. This geographic context places their production within established high-altitude farming zones known for slow cherry maturation in the region. The dominant varietal identified across their catalog presence is Bourbon. This traditional cultivar forms the foundation of their agricultural output represented in the data. Their processing methods encompass both natural and carbonic maceration techniques. The catalog reflects this methodological range through distinct offerings prepared via standard natural drying and controlled anaerobic carbonic maceration. The catalog footprint for the Kungahara Women's Group currently includes a total of two coffees indexed, with one lot actively in stock. Their coffees are carried by one roaster, La Barba Coffee, and maintain an average Cherrybook Index of 50.0 across their featured lots. Recent lot examples featured in the catalog include the Rwanda Kungahara Natural and Rwanda Kungahara Lot 12 utilizing carbonic maceration, both roasted by La Barba Coffee. These entries illustrate the group's utilization of distinct processing styles for the same core cultivar. The work of the Kungahara Women's Group within the catalog is characterized by a focused varietal foundation paired with diverse processing methods ranging from traditional naturals to experimental carbonic maceration.
