Rwanda was not coffee aware as a commodity or consumer beverage until 1903 thanks to German missionaries and unfortunately 90 years later prices crashed as a result of the world coffee crisis. This crash meant a lot of farms supplying single origin coffees went out of business and both the farming families and global supply market was worse off for this. The reactive benefit that emerged from this was the creation of a Rwandan Coffee Board (OCIR Café), to help refocus its support for its numerous (and precious) coffee plantations. Although the work the various world support organisations helped give the renaissance of Rwandan coffee its much needed momentum, the specialty sector did not form until years later in the early 2000s. Each time we browse the supply list for Rwandan single origin coffee, we are reminded how the vast majority of farming families are operating a plantation that is more often than not just 2 acres in size. Putting this into context, that is about 180 coffee trees.

The Holiday Season
Hi everyone, we are planning a short break over the start of school term, meaning we won't be roasting between 14th and 23rd July inclusive. Placing an order will still be possible, as will automated subscriptions but we do not plan on roasting or dispatching again until 24th Jul. The last dispatch date for ordered coffee before this period will be Monday 14th July.
Our apologies for this stopgap and as always thank for your patience and custom. If any of you are also planning a break at the same time then we wish you all a restful holiday.
