The Coffee
Rwanda is a perfect place to grow beautiful coffee. It's two degrees south the equator, with high elevations that produce a bright acidity. Yet until recently, Rwanda produced only an average grade of bourbon coffee.
The transformation of positioning Rwanda to tap into the exploding global demand for specialty coffee is a story of advancing knowledge and transforming lives.
