Training, inputs , and substantial contributions towards health insurance premiums are provided for all farmers delivering. Furthermore, this station has an agronomist on site that organizes training sessions focused on topics such as coffee plant care (planting, fertilizing, pruning, harvesting, etc), environmental protection, and importance of our traceability efforts. Various inputs like fertilizers and new coffee seedlings are provided free of cost to all farmers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor this lot, cherries are first sorted three times. After enough cherries have accumulated, the cherries are stored in clean plastic bags for a brief 8 hour in-cherry fermentation period before being depulped. The wet parchment then undergoes a 12 hour wet fermentation before being pushed through the grading channels.  Here the coffee is rigorously washed to remove any remaining mucilage and separated by density. The drying protocol begins by moving coffee onto shaded beds for 12 - 72 hours, which is a unique step in Rwanda that has two distinct benefits. First, it sets the trajectory for the entire drying phase by initially beginning very gently and slowly under complete shade.  Secondly, it allows ample time for intensive sorting while the parchment is still wet. The coffee is then dried for 26 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is our first time sourcing a light roast from Rwanda, and it feels like a great introduction to the distinct character the terroir there can offer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis washed Red Bourbon is a classic expression of what Rwanda is known for, and a really well grown example of it.
