Rwamatamu washing station

The Rwamatamu washing station operates within Rwanda, sourcing coffee from the Karongi, Kibuye, and Kigali regions. The station processes cherries grown at altitudes ranging from 1600 to 2000 meters above sea level.

The varietal landscape at Rwamatamu is focused on the Bourbon lineage. The catalog data identifies red bourbon as the most prevalent variety, alongside standard bourbon plantings.

The station maintains a primary focus on the washed process, which accounts for the majority of their cataloged lots. They also produce natural processed coffees, demonstrating a range in their post-harvest treatment portfolio.

The catalog footprint for Rwamatamu includes five distinct lots across three different roasters. These entries span recent harvest cycles, with three of these lots currently listed as in-stock.

Recent catalog examples include the Hirwa lot processed as washed red bourbon by Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters, the Rwamatamu Espresso lot processed as washed bourbon by Calendar Coffee, and the Kibaya lot processed as washed red bourbon by Pinewood Coffee Co.

The work of the Rwamatamu washing station is characterized by a consistent focus on Bourbon varieties and a primary reliance on the washed processing method.
