About Rwanda Kinini:
In 2012 38 of the 252 hectares in the Northern Province of Rwanda were planted with Bourbon Mayaguez 139 seedlings (2000 – 2500 in each hectare). This totalled nearly half a million new trees. Access to supply of new trees and nurseries continues to grow.
This regeneration was led by Jacquie Turner and Malcolm Clear. Not just limited to new trees, new roads were built to improve access for the many farmers that have to deliver their days pickings to the washing station by 4pm in order to maintain quality.
About The Rebero Lot:
The Rebero lot is a separation from the 633 farmers that are currently using the Kinini washing station, chosen from trees grown on north facing slopes at altitudes of 1973masl and above. Cherry is delivered to the washing station by 4pm on the day of picking, where it is fermented, pulped, fermented and soaked before drying.
Further Investment & Technology
The improvements made over the last decade now encompass a roasting facility (Covered by a donation from D R Wakefield’s Full Circle event) , Natural and other processing methods were introduced in 2019, and most recently, a worm bed to turn the coffee cherry into organic fertiliser. Future plans include creating a space to welcome visitors and a facility for them to stay on sight.
Satellite technology is used to monitor leaf glare from the trees- any changes can be a sign of disease or infestation. Early detection pays dividends when it comes to clean cups and good quality green beans.
