Ruli

The Musasa Dukunde Kawa cooperative has four washing stations lying high in Rwanda’s rugged northwest. Ruli, the cooperative’s first washing station, was built by the co-op in 2003. and is one of Rwanda’s highest washing stations. 
Most of the smallholder producers with whom Musasa Dukunde Kawa works own less than a quarter of a hectare of land, where they cultivate an average of only 250-300 coffee trees each. The cooperative gives these small farmers the chance to combine their harvests and process cherries centrally, seeing their income at least double, and the co-op produces some outstanding lots for the specialty market year after year.
Roaster's Notes Argyll's Secret Roast
This version of Secret Roast has all zing you've come to expect, with a lovely jammy sweetness to lift your morning cup.
About Guatemala
Coffee took off in Guatemala in the 1850s, in the rush to find a new crop to replace the collapsing indigo trade. By 1880, it represented 90% of Guatemala’s exports, but wild growth resulted in the displacement of indigenous peoples, tipping the country into a civil war over issues related to land distribution, poverty, hunger and racism, which rumble on even now.

Today, the country ranks in the top 15 coffee producers, with Bourbon, Typical, Caturra and Catuai beans harvested between December and April.
About Rwanda
The majority of coffee in Rwanda is grown by small-scale farmers, typically organised into cooperatives that share the services of centralised wet-mills. Almost all of Rwanda’s coffee is one of several long-established Bourbon varieties. This is closely guarded by the country’s government and gives Rwandan coffees a unique bright fruitiness and acidity.

Following the genocide, coffee production was one of the key drivers of economic growth. Rwanda is now one of the ‘go to’ origins for specialty coffee today.
