Shyira Washing Station

The Shyira Washing Station is located in the Northern region of Rwanda. The coffee processed at this station is grown at high altitudes, ranging from 1800 to 2300 meters above sea level.

The station focuses on the cultivation of Bourbon varieties. Specifically, the catalog identifies both Red Bourbon and standard Bourbon as the dominant varietals processed at this facility.

The processing methods at Shyira are consistent, with the catalog documenting a focus on the washed process. All lots currently represented in the index utilize this traditional preparation method.

The catalog footprint for Shyira includes two distinct lots, which have been featured by two different roasters. Recent catalog entries include the Rwanda Shyira Washed processed by Vigilante Coffee using Red Bourbon, and the Rwanda Shyira processed by Olympia Coffee Roasters using Bourbon.

The work at Shyira is characterized by a consistent focus on washed-process Bourbon varieties grown at high elevations in Northern Rwanda.
