Gitesi coffee is produced at the washing station of the same name, founded in 2005 by Alexis and Aimé Gahizi in the Western Province of Rwanda.
Aimé, an engineer by training, has set up a wastewater purification system, recognised and used as a model throughout Rwandan industry. He also uses the leftover coffee cherries to make an organic and natural fertilizer, which has helped turn this station into a model of sustainability.
More than 1,800 local farmers collaborate with the Gitesi station, where rigorous methods of sorting and receiving cherries are applied. This batch was produced by Aime Gahizi in the vicinity of the washing station for even higher quality.
The coffee cherries are pulped to keep only 70% of the mucilage, then left to ferment dry for 10 to 12 hours. The seeds are then washed and left to dry on high beds for 15 days.
