More…

Since 2016, we have been bringing you this washed red bourbon from Shyira washing station in Virunga Mountains, the home of Silverbacks. Originally, Rwanda exclusively produced only washed coffees however, last few years they have started experimenting with natural processed coffee as well. Though we do not enjoy naturals being done by tropical countries with high rainfall and limited sun suited for this process. But when we received  samples of this particular lot, we couldn’t help ordering it, though in a very small quantity.

Enjoy, this is our second natural offering after Gundikhan.

About the Farm

Since 2016, this Red Bourbon from Rwanda has been a regular on shelves.

Located in Nyabihu District in North Western Region of Rwanda, Shyira washing station is managed by Josue Dusengiyumva. This is MTCo.’s smallest washing station and sources coffee from the highest altitudes (1800 – 2200 MASL) out of their 5 stations, which explain its uniqueness amongst the rest of the produce. Shyira only has 1 full time staff and 42 casual workers during peak season.

Shyira is an hour drive up the hills from the township of Musanze (Ruhengeri). The weather conditions, soil type and its high-altitude lands makes this CWS an ideal setting for high-quality coffee processing and production. On the drive up to the CWS, when you reach on top of the Shyira hills, you will be met with a view that will take your breath away – the chain of volcanoes in between the beautiful beasts of Rwanda the Mountain Gorillas come from to the waterfalls of the wonderful Gicice river. As if that is not enough, combined with the valley full of white sands, fog covering hills and good weather makes Shyira truly unique and one of a kind.

The station is located deep high in the ranges of the iconic and world-renowned Virunga Mountain and National park ranges.

This is where the Mountain Gorillas/Silverbacks are from; perhaps the best-known wildlife in Rwanda where a lady primatologist named Dian Fossey gave away her life saving these mountain gorillas. The high altitude, plentiful rain and highly fertile and nutritional soils in the area are the reasons why it produces some truly phenomenal tasting coffees.

Enjoy !!
