processing: natural region: Gihororo, Kayanza varietal: red bourbon filter roast 250 grams

In the hills of Gihororo, Kayanza, lies the Masha washing station, named after the Kirundi word “amasho”, meaning “herds of cattle”. For generations, this area has been a crossroads for herders, who greet each other with the unique phrase “gira amasho” – “owner of cows”.

Since 1989, Masha has been producing something equally special: delicious coffee. Local small-scale farmers grow coffee alongside food crops to support their families. The result is a coffee with notes of apricot, honey, and cinnamon tea, crafted with care and rooted in tradition.

Each sip tells the story of this remarkable place.
