Another release! This marks our first time exploring Rwanda with Baho Coffee. Founded by Emmanuel Rusatira after nearly 20 years managing washing stations for a major export company, Baho now runs six stations with a mission of keeping profit and quality-of-life investment within local communities — a rarity in a sector still largely controlled by multinationals. Emmanuel works closely with producers year-round through Farmer Field Schools, offering education on selective picking, soil conservation, and infrastructure loans.
Muzo is the smallest station in the Baho collection and holds a special place in his portfolio, sourcing Red Bourbon cherries from around 496 producers in Rugeregere village, Nyamasheke District, at altitudes up to 2,100 masl. Emmanuel pays cherry prices up to 80% above the national farmgate rate, plus a post-harvest premium, producing intensely sweet, tropical-fruited lots that are among the rarest in the collection.
Available now in our cafe and webshop.
