This coffee is a 100% Bourbon Arabica Red coffee grown in the Mbuye sector, Ruhango district in the Southern Province of Rwanda. This area is one of the best locations on the central "plateau" of the country, with altitudes ranging from 1650 - 1850 meters above sea level. Farmers are trained to harvest only ripe coffee cherries from the trees on their farm. During the harvest season (March-June), the cherries are picked by hand and taken to the washing station daily by the farmers themselves, on foot or by bicycle. At the peak of the season, they use a truck from a local collection point where the harvest is consolidated. Tropic Coffee always pays the farmers a supplement to cover their logistical costs.
Among the other kind of tress we can find on the farm : Citrus Limon, Carica Papaya, Calliandra Calothyrsus ,Grevillea ,Mangifera indica and Persea americana.
