If you love coffee then you’re in the right country! Rwanda has some seriously good beans and they don’t have to travel far to find their way into your cup which means they’re about as fresh as they can get! But, despite living here for years, I’d really never heard of any opportunities to learn about coffee production here. It all seemed to be tea, tea, and more tea with the Sorwathe Tea Plantation people leading the way with their on-site accommodation and factory tours. But, little did I know, that a mere two hours away just outside of Huye (Butare) lies the Huye Mountain Coffee Company who run a pretty great little coffee tour that will give you the low-down on coffee production in Rwanda.

Gest first hand experience on how it is made
At Huye mountain Coffee, we teach you how things are done! Coffee preparation is the process of turning coffee beans into a beverage. While the particular steps vary with the type of coffee and with the raw materials, the process includes four basic steps: raw coffee beans must be roasted, the roasted coffee beans must then be ground, the ground coffee must then be mixed with hot water for a certain time (brewed), and finally the liquid coffee must be separated from the used grounds. You will experience all this by yourself.
