Being able to trace a beautiful Rwandan coffee back to a single producer. But this year, we’ve done it - with two very special lots. This particular coffee comes from 81 year-old old producer, Anastase Mudaherenwa.</div> <div class="easytabs-content-holder"><br></div> <div class="easytabs-content-holder"> <p dir="ltr"><span>Having inherited his very first plot of coffee trees from his parents during his teenage years, Anastase has over 60 years of accumulated coffee knowledge which he offers up in this very special lot. With an impressive 5,200 coffee trees across 15 plots of land, Anastase is now one of the biggest estate owners in the region.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>When Anastase first began producing coffee, cherries were arduously pulped by hand using stones, and growers sold dried parchment to anonymous brokers at meagre prices. Today, Anastase delivers and sells his cherry to Buf Coffee, who operate their very own dry mill where coffee can be processed in smaller lots while minimising cost and maintaining standards of excellent quality. </span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>With this recent addition of a dry mill to their infrastructure, Buf Coffee can now control quality throughout the entire process - from when coffee cherries are delivered to the washing station, all the way through to export. Thanks to these resources, Anastase now prospers as a coffee farmer, and both his children and grandchildren see a viable future in specialty production. What a great story!</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Read more about this coffee in our transparency report.</span></p> <b id="docs-internal-guid-6ab1df07-7fff-e221-633f-df278cef7b1f"></b> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
