Mercanta UK Rwanda Arrivals
The Musasa Dukunde Kawa cooperative has four washing stations lying high in Rwanda’s rugged northwest. Mbilima – the cooperative’s second washing station - was built by the co-op in 2005 with profits earned from their first washing station, Ruli, constructed only two years prior. Constructed at a vertiginous 2,020 metres above sea level, it is one of Rwanda’s highest washing stations. Much of the success of Musasa Dukunde Kawa can be attributed to the transformational PEARL programme of which it was a part. The project switched the focus in the Rwandan coffee sector from an historic emphasis on quantity to one of quality, thus opening Rwanda up to the much more highly-valued specialty coffee market. The programme and its successor, SPREAD, have been invaluable in helping Rwanda’s small-scale coffee farmers to rebuild their production in the wake of the devastating 1994 genocide and the 1990s world coffee crash. These coffees are arriving now in the UK. Inquire now to learn more!

Cupping time
Posted @withregram • @diedrichroasterseu 1st day of the `How to Start a Roastery` course here at @londonschoolofcoffee in Wandsworth, South London. We use some great green on the course to try and highlight specialty coffee and specialty techniques. This is a Colombian from our partner @mercantacoffee. They use QR codes to give you instant information and traceability of the journey of that coffee. For anyone using green coffee this is a great innovation. #specialtycoffeeroaster #specialtygreencoffee #coffeeeducation #roastingtraining #specialtycoffee #specialtyroaster #sustainablecoffee
