STORY BEHIND THE CUP
Abadatezuka Cooperative is made up of smallholder farmers in Rwanda's Western Province who bring their coffee cherries to the Cyato Washing Station situated in the Cyato sector of the Nayamasheke district. These producers cultivate coffee at altitudes up to 2,200 meters above sea level, while the washing station is located at 1,850 meters above sea level. The washing station was established in 2017. One intriguing detail about this coffee is that the local honeybees in the Nyungwe forest, where the coffee is grown, are believed to contribute to its distinct taste profile. The combination of bee-assisted pollination, rich soil (black humus and sandy) and a cool lake-influenced climate due to its proximity to Lake Kivu, all contribute to the unique flavors found in each cup. The farmers do not use any synthetic inputs, whether as fertilizers or pest control.
