This Natural processed coffee comes from the Eastern Province of Rwanda, a sun-drenched region where coffees naturally exhibit more body and a gentle acidity.
It is processed at the Taba station, opened in 2020 and equipped with 60 drying beds, which receives coffee cherries from the producers registered by Coffee Villages, the structure created by Tom and Sylvia Bagaza.
Prior to Coffee Villages, Tom worked for nine years on the USAID PEARL and SPREAD development projects, where he directly supported producers: structuring into cooperatives, developing business plans, professionalizing management, and enhancing quality. It was by witnessing the concrete impact of these actions on the lives of farmers that he wished to replicate this model in his own village, Taba.
With Sylvia and Australian pastor Mark Zschech, they launched a project centered on coffee production as a lever for improving local living conditions.
A Natural processed coffee that reflects the sun-drenched terroir of Eastern Rwanda and the commitment of Coffee Villages to the producers of Taba.
