SOURCING
The team of mostly women meticulously sorted and managed the cherries throughout the processing stage. The coffee cherries are placed in sealed fermentation tanks for either 72 hours or 96 hours. The batches are mixed and placed on raised beds under full sun to dry. They are turned regularly for evenness and left on the bed for 20-30 days until they reach 11% humidity.

ORIGIN
Ruhango District, Rwanda
The Gisanga Washing Station resides in the beautiful mountain range of the Congo- Nile Divide. The fertile land is full of clay and sandy soils, and the cool humidity results in the perfect growing and processing conditions for Red Bourbon coffee trees.
The station is responsible for providing all of the southern Rwandan coffee supply, delivering 650 tonnes of cherries each season. It purchases and processes coffee from over 850 local farmers who operate under the Koapambu Co-operative. Usually, after harvest, the cherries are delivered from the farms to the station by foot or by bicycle. Tropic Coffee Company always pays the farmers for any logistical expenses if a vehicle is required.
