What Sweet Beans says about this coffee
Rugamba Wet Mill was constructed in 2009 and is located on the shores of Lake Kivu in Rwanda. The station processes coffee cherries grown on the surrounding hills at high altitudes, where the trees benefit from rich volcanic soil and a favorable microclimate.
The station is equipped with a three-disc McKinnon pulping machine, fermentation tanks, and raised drying beds. Rugamba receives coffee cherries from more than 1,500 smallholder farmers in the surrounding area.
In 2016, Rugamba was acquired by RTC (Rwanda Trading Company) after the station had been inactive for four years due to management issues under its previous ownership.

Where each fact came from
A further 4 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
