Washed
The Washed process in Rwanda includes a unique soaking step, not unlike that often found in Kenya. The cherries are delivered to central processing units the day they are harvested, where they will be depulped and fermented in open-air tanks made of concrete or cement for 12–18 hours. After fermentation, the coffees are soaked in water for 24 hours, after which their mucilage will be removed and spread on raised beds to dry.

Rwanda - Tumba
Rwandan coffees are known for their complex round fruity flavours, and this coffee is an excellent example of that. Bold, fruity and more-ish, this Rwandan coffee is delicious as Espresso and Filter.

The Producers
Tumba coffee washing station is located in the northern province of Rwanda, a region known for producing some of the finest coffee in the country.
Tumba was established in 2007 by 3 private investors, and is now owned by Venuste Mugiraneza, the only founding member who was a local inhabitant.
A former teacher, Venuste is very passionate about coffee and has developed his experience and expertise over the past 10 years. As a local resident, he is also aware of many hurdles coffee farmers can face, so he has been investing in farmer extension services. He works tirelessly to keep the station in a good condition so to continue to deliver perfect quality and support the farmers he works with.
