About the Producer
Rugamba wet mill was constructed in 2009. The station located at the shores of Lake Kivu (one of the great lakes), processes cherries grown in the hills surrounding the lake, at a high altitude, in rich volcanic soil.

The station is equipped with a 3-disk McKinnon pulping machine, fermentation tanks, and drying beds, receiving coffees from over 1500 farmers. RTC acquired Rugamba in 2016 after the station had not been operating for 4 years because management issues of the previous owner.

The coffee is delivered to the station where it is floated and immature cherry removed. Then the coffee is taken to raised beds where it is dried for 20 -25 days.
