Coffee Origins
This is a great entry level coffee for those who are a bit intimidated by light roast single origin coffee. It is easy and approachable, a worthy staple for your cupboard! Owned and operated by prominent leader in the community, Daphrose Uwimana, making it one of very few coffee wash stations that is led by a woman. Vunga CWS is a part of Muraho Trading Co. in Rwanda. For brewing a pleasing, tasty-every-time cup of coffee at home, this is one you need to add to the lineup. “In 2017 we began a new partnership with the Vunga Cooperative Families. Vunga was established in March 2009 and consists of 260 members. It is a woman led cooperative and is located in the Nyabihu District, North Western Region of Rwanda. Vunga sits close to the borders of our neighbours in the north Uganda and west the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This tiny coffee washing station (CWS) is hidden in between the trademark steep hills of Nyabihu and thousands of plantain and banana trees. The station receives its water from the natural source from the nearby and famed Virunga National Park.” -Muraho Trading Co.
Once you make your way past the majestic four-hour drive from Kigali to Nyamasheke District where you are bombarded with thousands of green lush forests, trade mark Rwandan rolling hills, villages, coffee trees and so much more. Just when you think it cannot get any more majestic … you are greeted by the iconic Lake Kivu, the biggest lake in Rwanda overseeing our neighbours to the west, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

FAQs
Single origins: Our roast style and green coffee preference suits both filter and espresso very well.
Each coffee with present different characteristics you may prefer through a specific brew method.
For example Dario loves washed Kenyan’s through the AeroPress, but they taste great as espresso and through the V60.
Blends: Designed with espresso in mind but Dreamer tastes great in the plunger. It’s all down to personal preference!
