The Bugoyi washing station, located in Rutsiro on the shores of Lake Kivu, is an emblematic place in coffee production in Rwanda. Acquired in 2016 by Baho Coffee, the station takes advantage of the winds blowing from the lake to ensure uniform and stable drying. This careful process, along with the unique altitude and terroir, provides unmatched complexity to the coffee produced.
Baho Coffee, led by Rusatira Emmanuel, works with around 5,000 local smallholder farmers. For many of these farmers, coffee is their main source of income, despite working very small plots of around 250 trees interspersed with food crops such as corn and potatoes. This collaboration not only promotes coffee quality, but also strengthens community development.
Bugoyi is one of 10 washing stations operated by Baho Coffee in Rwanda, all committed to excellence and sustainability. This natural batch reflects the focus of the season: full-bodied, clean coffees with expressive fruit notes that celebrate the microclimate and dedication of the region's farmers.
