What's special
about this coffee

Despite the country's turbulent history, Rwanda is now one of the darlings of the specialty coffee world. Musasa is the name of the washing station (processing plant) that was taken over by Sucafina in 2013. They now work with 1,750 small-scale farmers (who have an average of only 0.20 hectares of land). Regular training sessions are organized for them on composting, renovation, and other specific topics. Musasa uses an eco-pulper that is much more environmentally friendly than traditional pulpers in terms of water consumption.

About coffee from Rwanda

German missionaries and colonists brought coffee to Rwanda in the early 20th century. Large-scale coffee production was established in the 1930s and 1940s by the Belgian colonial government. Coffee production continued after the Belgian colonists left. By 1970, coffee had become Rwanda's most important export product, accounting for 70% of total export earnings. Coffee was considered so valuable that, starting in 1973, it was illegal to uproot coffee trees.

Producers & cooperative

Musasa Washing Station, which unites 1,750 small-scale farmers. Twenty-three percent of these farmers are younger than 35, and the organization is strongly committed to these young coffee farmers, who represent the future of Rwandan coffee. Despite the small scale of these coffee farmers, they are regularly immersed in organic farming techniques, renovation, and harvesting methods to help them grow and improve quality.

Top!

Heerlijke, goed afsmakende krachtige koffie (ook al staat op het label dat de intensiteit gemiddeld is). We blijven er hier maar van bestellen....

Lekkere koffie

Ik ben klant bij Ray & Jules sinds kerstmis 2024. Voordien kocht ik bewust mijn koffie bij de Oxfam Wereldwinkel, want (1) er wordt een eerlijke prijs aan de koffieboeren betaald en (2) het gaat om bio-koffie. Bij Ray & Jules wordt de koffie ook op een ecologische verantwoorde manier gebrand, d.w.z. drie troeven om voor Ray & Jules te kiezen. De koffies zijn bovendien lekker.
