Coffee Origin
The Kirambo 123 coffee from Volcano originates from the Lake Kivu region of Rwanda.
The Kirambo Washing Station is located in the Nyamasheke region near Lake Kivu and works with smallholder farmers who cultivate plots smaller than one hectare. The station was built in 2008 but struggled with financial instability for years.
The turning point came in 2017 when it was taken over by RTC, a company that introduced new standards focused on sustainability, transparency, and farmer education starting from the 2018 season. These efforts have led to an increase in coffee quality and ensured fair conditions for local producers. Thanks to these initiatives, Kirambo now produces some of the finest coffees in the region, known for their complex flavor profile and vibrant fruitiness.
