Anastase Minani

Coffee Varietal: Red Bourbon
Harvest Year: September 2023
Coffee Process: Washed

The majority of coffee in Rwanda can only be traced back to the washing station. Farmers produce small amounts as a cash crop. These are blended together to form larger lots that are processed and sold under the name of the washing station. Anastase's coffee is special, too good to be lost in a blend of other lots, his coffee production is just big enough to be kept separate at the washing station, and to preserve traceability back to him, and his farm.

The area surrounding Ruli —where Minani's coffee is from— has mineral-rich soil and an environment that is well suited to speciality coffee production. Typically, coffee is grown as a cash crop in Rwanda, alongside subsistence food crops like maize, beans and sorghum and generally livestock like goats and chickens.

This is the fifth consecutive year we've worked with Anastase Minani , his coffee is crisp, bright and always highly anticipated.

This month, we will be donating $1 for every 250g sold from our Rwanda Producers Series as part of a campaign Supporting Strong Women; an initiative that is raising funds for the Rambagirakawa Womens Group. As a collective we hope to raise $15000 by June.
