STORY

Isimbi Farmlevel Photography: Sorting coffee

Named after the Kinyarwanda word for the white at the top of a volcano that’s also used to refer to something pure, Isimbi embodies a clean and pure cup of coffee. Each cherry is carefully handpicked to prevent any damaged or under ripe cherries from being included in the process. Washing stations only accept perfectly ripe cherries, so farmers take more care when they pick to ensure the maximum amount of cherry acceptance. Working with other organizations in Rwanda, Rwacof mill invests heavily in farmer training and good agricultural practices. Rwacof’s Farmer Field School shares information with all their producer partners about best agricultural practices, conservation tactics, the importance of picking only ripe cherries and more.

Producer

Coffee producers have their own methods that can make coffee special. We will always highlight our producers, cooperatives, and washing stations to provide farmlevel traceability.

Cultivar

Each cultivar has its own flavor profile. Not only is the taste different, but the actual coffee plant is different. Even the shape of the bean will vary between cultivars.

Processing Method

Coffee processing is crucial to the taste in the cup. Processing is done by the producer during the drying process. Most of our coffees are washed, but we always call out natural, honey, and experimental processes.

Elevation

Most of our coffees come from high elevation farms. Different cultivars thrive under different environmental factors. The elevation is a huge part of how well certain coffees will grow.
