Rwanda Muhondo - Everything about green coffee & the coffee farm
Muhondo is the largest and oldest of the three washing stations of the Muhondo Coffee Company. Jean Nepomuscene Habyarimana, one of the two CEOs, started as a farmer on the Coko Farm in 2008. Five years later they bought the Muhondo Washing Station. Muhondo is located in the Gakenke district in the northern region of Rwanda. The weather and soil conditions are ideal for growing coffee. The coffee receives sufficient rain in the months of October to May, grows slowly and thus develops a very special taste profile and body.
In recent years, more and more small farmers from the Muhondo region have invested in coffee. The income generated allows them to solve many of their problems, such as covering the costs of their children's education, health insurance and providing for their families. In addition to creating many jobs in this region, Muhondo really cares for its people. Farmers are not only supported with logistics, seedlings, water supply and fertilizers, but also receive valuable training in agricultural practices and can apply for loans.
The Muhondo Washing Station is one of the few in the country that uses drying racks. Divided into three racks each, the beans dry slowly and are protected from direct sunlight and rain. The two open sides allow the wind to blow cool air onto the coffee and dry it gently.
