Musasa literally means “place to make a bed”. Once home to King Mibambwe III Sentabyo in the years 1741-1746. This is why we say that Musasa coffee is “Blessed by the Kings”.

The farmers pick the cherries from the coffee plant by selective harvesting where only ripe and good quality cherries are delivered to collection centres where the coffee is then transported by truck, bicycle or by head within 8 hours to the washing station.

The Musasa washing station sits on top of a large hill, overlooking an overlapping network of valleys and other, equally impressive hills, just 70km from the Kigali capital of Rwanda.

The coffee is left in raised beds for 45 - 60 days. The cherries are pre-cleaned and sorted by density (any inert materials and lighter beans are removed) by a Pinhalense machine nicknamed the ‘Umupolisi’ (police person) prior to sun drying where lighter cherries are removed and dried separately as lower grade coffee.

Rwanda is known as the ‘land of a thousand hills’. There is the altitude and weather to grow fantastic coffee.
