FUGI Cws is located along the Akanyaru border of Rwanda and Burundi in the southern province. It is one of the hilliest areas of the country. Agriculture is the main activity practiced in that area and coffee takes a big percentage of the crops cultivated. Baho coffee company processes its cherries using the natural process to bring out the best grade of coffee that will bring out the smiles to every face that graces that region. We use a blend of skilled professional coffee experts led by Emmanuel Rusatira, an experienced coffee certified master, a person you will love beyond coffee, About Baho Coffee
With more than 15 years of experience in the Rwandan speciality coffee industry, the Rusatira family found the opportunity to set up our own four coffee washing stations. The location and specific management of each station show itself in unique flavour profiles. We developed our own grading system and are continuously experimenting with washed, honey, and natural processed coffee. All year round we work together with coffee producers to support them on the field, and financially, so as to produce the best coffee cherries of the region and boost quality year after year. All our attention goes to the selection, de-pulping, fermentation, washing, drying, storage, and continuous quality control.
“Baho means "stay alive" or "be strong", "don't give up". It is the kind of thing you say to friends when they tell you of their misfortunes or problems. When they want to give up. You hug them and say "Baho!". You give them comfort. This is what I aim to achieve with my company and the coffees we produce, to give comfort to the ones who drink it and the ones who grow it. It is something that is deeply connected to my personal history as a genocide survivor and to the journey of coffee. Coffee is a crop that goes through many difficulties. It is hit by the weather, by bad management, then you pick it, heat if with fire… If you could ask coffee to tell you its journey you’d cry. I believe coffee can, in fact, speak. And for me, it says something like... Baho.”along with the uniquely crafted processes to produce this up for all coffee roasters across the world.
