On the slopes of Rwanda’s Nyamasheke region lies the Gitwe station. It is a place where coffee is not just a crop – it is a shared effort, pride, and tradition. More than 90% of the team here are women. Every cherry goes through careful sorting, fermentation, and drying on African beds to highlight its clarity and complexity. At Father’s, we treat this coffee with the same care and respect.
PRODUCER
The Gitwe station, located in the Nyamasheke district, lies in a high-altitude area with rich volcanic soil near Lake Kivu. This unique environment creates ideal conditions for growing specialty coffee, considered among the best in all of Rwanda.
The Gitwe station is made up mostly of women, who represent 90% of the team. Only specialty coffee is processed here. RTC operates 15 collection points that make it easier to transport cherries, especially for elderly farmers in the area.
PROCESSING
At the Gitwe station, fresh cherries are first hand-sorted and then depulped. They are then fermented in tanks for 8 to 12 hours, a process that ensures clarity and complexity of flavor. After fermentation, the beans are washed and dried on raised beds for 10 to 15 days, being turned regularly to ensure even drying.
VARIETY
Red Bourbon, a variety with a rich history dating back to Bourbon Island (present-day Réunion), is prized for its exceptional cup quality. Its cherries have a deep red color and are known for their delicate and refined flavor notes.
We work with several couriers worldwide, the table HERE specify the conditions for each country.
