Rwanda | Dukunde Kawa Washed - Whole Bean
Whole Bean Coffee
[RUH-WAHN-DUH • DUH-KOON-DAY • KA-WA]
Process: Washed
Citrus, Pear, Juicy
This washed lot comes from Dukunde Kawa members with farms between 2,000 and 2,200 masl and the region’s signature volcanic loam soil. they also started a coffee school to ecducate the next generation of Rwandan coffee farmers.
Clean, bright and juicy cup with notes of pear and lemon. Smooth and sweet finish.
While it’s not uncommon to find cooperatives in Rwanda, it’s uncommon to find a cooperative like Dukunde Kawa: they have worked tirelessly on behalf of their more than 1,000 farmer-members. They produce excellent coffee whose juicy body and fruitiness are distinctive to Gakenke in Rwanda's Northern Province. They also started a coffee school last year to educate the next generation of Rwandan coffee, and even have a program to donate dairy cows to families in the community—a symbol of respect and source of economic opportunity. One Acre Fund has collaborated with Dukunde Kawa to distribute inputs, shade trees, and coffee seedlings to its farmer members. In this way, Dukunde Kawa’s farmers can continue producing their standout coffee and prosper more from it.
One Acre Fund is a social enterprise that works with millions of smallholder farmers, equipping them with the supplies and training to help them thrive. One Acre Fund puts Farmers First in everything they do, helping farmers grow more food, plant more trees, and earn more money from their harvests.
