Gisheke

Gisheke is one of the wash stations in Nyamasheke that is owned by Muraho Trading Co., managed by Emmanuel Tuyizere.

Each harvest season, around 630 farmers bring their cherries to be processed at Gisheke Wash Station.

Here is a excerpt from the Muraho website: “Gisheke coffee washing station (CWS) is the hidden gem of Rwanda. When Gisheke was purchased in September 2017, it was very run down and in a bad state. Between February and April 2018, it went through a major makeover in order to become what it is today – a truly stunning and idyllic station for processing top specialty coffees.

What makes Gisheke so special is that it is literally located in between two steep hills that point directly towards Lake Kivu, the beautiful Idjwi Island and also our neighbours to the west, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Idjwi Island is the second largest inland island in Africa. This setting makes the wind flow through the station the most ideal for processing and drying top quality natural processed coffees.”
