Lake Kivu's steady winds create ideal conditions for drying high-quality coffees: red apple sweetness & a jam-like body.

We are excited to revisit Gisheke year after year, as we believe Muraho Trading Co are producing some of the best coffees in Rwanda.

Gisheke is uniquely nestled between two steep hills pointing towards Lake Kivu, the Idjwi Island and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The setting on the shores of Lake Kivu make the wind flow ideal for drying high quality lots on raised African beds.

Our selected washed lot reveals red apple sweetness, vanilla and a jam-like body.

Muraho Trading Company was formed by two brothers who had a vision to showcase the potential of Rwandan coffee. The farm has recently seen major refurbishments after being purchased in 2017, now set up to produce complex coffee.

Overlooking Lake Kivu, 40% of the cherries processed at Gisheke are grown on Mushungwe Island and are delivered by boat.
