The Story Behind The Cup

Ildephonse MUKIZA

Gaudence UWIMBABAZI

Placide MUHUMUZA

Claudine UWASE

Cassien MUTIZERWA

Theogene HITIMANA

Additionally, the station owner, Emmanuel preaches the potential of both high quality and high volumes at Humure, thanks to the combination of relatively flatter lands coupled with an established infrastructure of shade trees from it being located in a prominent banana growing region.  Because of this, Emmanuel is investing a lot of energy into farmer education in the surrounding areas. According to Emmanuel, this includes: “... training in coffee mulching, harvesting, weeding, crop protection. Farmers are trained on intercropping and shade trees in the field, farmers are helped to get seedlings of fruit trees. Farmers are given training in soil management and biodiversity.”

Recommendation: We recommend ordering whole bean coffee for maximum freshness and flavor. Ground coffee starts to oxidize and age, resulting in a flat flavor. Customer satisfaction is not guaranteed for ground coffee.
