LIGHT UP COFFEE GISHIEKE - RWANDA (JUICY)

Sale price HK$180.00

The Gisheke Coffee Washing Station (CWS) is located along the shores of Lake Kivu in Nyamasheke, Western Province, Rwanda.

Thanks to its unique geographical advantage of being situated by the lake, the washing station can even receive coffee cherries from nearby Mushungwe Island – local farmers transport the freshly picked cherries by water using carved wooden canoes.

The washing station itself stands on a steep hillside with excellent views. During the later stages of processing, workers frequently need to carry 60 kg of parchment coffee on their shoulders, moving up and down the steep slopes. This washing station vividly showcases the producers' resilience and perseverance at every turn.
