This coffee was processed at the Nyarusiza washing station, which was established in 2003 and is the first Buf washing station, servicing about 700 local producers. The washing station sits at 1,743 meters above sea level in the high, rugged mountains of Rwanda’s Southern Province. The area surrounding the washing station has mineral-rich soil and a lush environment that is well-suited to speciality coffee production. Quality control and day-to-day operations at Nyarusiza are overseen by the station manager, Jean Pierre Ayirwanda, who is assisted by the Head of Quality Control, Eugenie Kanakuze.
Together, they ensure that the coffee is harvested and processed with care and that production standards are kept at the highest possible level. Nyarusiza typically provides jobs for 60 seasonal workers during the peak harvest and staffs five permanent positions. At the end of each season, any surplus profits are shared with the producers and washing station managers.
