Rwanda | Huye Mountain
Roaster’s tasting notes: caramel | watermelon | nuts
Huye Mountain coffee was started by David Rubanzangabo in 2012, working with 500 local smallholder farmers over a total farmed area of 28 hectares. A veteran of the Rwandan coffee industry since 1998, David has used his experience to improve the inherent quality and sustainability of the supply chain. Practically this has been achieved through shared training and micro-loans for farmers to invest in equipment, water supply and agricultural inputs.
Huye Mountain now work with over 1,300 farmers and have performed well in national awards such as the Cup of Excellence. They offer tours of the coffee journey at David and Family coffee, and extended wonderful hospitality to us on our visit.
