Having grown up in the local area, Justin returned after a period away, investing in the community by establishing a wet mill on his father's coffee plantation. In addition to his own 8-hectare farm, he buys cherries from neighbouring smallholders. While this region may not be as renowned for quality coffees as some other parts of Rwanda, it has high altitudes and an increasing number of farmers venturing into coffee cultivation at these elevations. We've discovered that these lots possess a distinctive character, setting them apart from other Rwandan coffees. Justin's well-organised operations, combined with his efforts on the ground to enhance quality, consistently bring exceptional results in the cup. In Rwanda, the prevailing cool climate throughout the season plays a pivotal role in controlling the fermentation process. Using a Penagos Eco Pulper, the skin, pulp, and approximately 70% of the mucilage are removed. The coffee is then dry fermented for 10-12 hours. After this, the parchment is graded and washed in channels, followed by a separation into two grades based on density. It is then soaked in clean water tanks for 16 hours soaking.
