Rwanda Karambi Washed Coffee Beans

Just a few miles inland from Kirambo at the edge of Lake Kivu, is the Karambi washing station, named after the nearby village and surrounding sector. Tucked onto steep and largely inaccessible slopes, the site is just over 2.5ha.

Karambi was established in 2016 and RTC took ownership the following year. 4 staff are employed full time with the addition of 60 further staff during the harvest, of whom 90% are women. 1500 farmers contribute cherry to the station and all have successfully participated in RTC’s training program. Since 2017, annual production has doubled from 220 tons of cherry processed to an expected 400+ this year. The farms surrounding Karambi are all within 3 kilometres of the station, located on steep slopes. On average farms are 4ha in size, with approximately 8000 trees per farm.

Our medium-light roasted Rwanda Karambi washed process speciality coffee has notes of peach, honey, butter, lemon, red fruits, which makes an incredibly complex coffee and has an excellent SCA score of 86.

As with all our products, it's packed and supplied in 100% recyclable bags. Our Rwanda Karambi 134 speciality coffee is available for you to buy online as whole beans to grind at home, or you can purchase it as freshly ground coffee in coarse, medium or fine grinds.
