Coffee Description
Sweet and slightly savory, this balanced coffee is fruit forward, with aromas of marmalade and toast leading into flavor notes of blood orange, plum, and pear leather. Sweetly piquant acidity and silky body complement the lingering dark chocolate finish.

About Smallholder producers of Rwanda
Very high in the mountains of south-central Rwanda nestles the Remera washing station, one of two owned by Buf Cafe. And behind Buf Cafe is Epiphanie Muhirwa, widowed in the country’s civil war. She started Buf Cafe in the year 2000, and has become a living symbol of Rwanda’s economic recovery through specialty coffee production. These days, her son, Sam Muhirwa, oversees daily operations at Buf Cafe.
Approximately 7000 smallholders/ five local coffee cooperatives bring their coffees to the Buf Cafe stations to be processed. The Muhira family pays good wages, sharing surplus profits with contributors, and sowing back into the communities around the washing stations. This makes such things as schooling for children, medical care, and livestock more accessible to the farmers, improving their quality of life while helping to achieve coffee quality that places in the Rwanda Cup of Excellence competitions year after year.
