You’ve found the best Rwandan Coffee around. The exceptional beans used in its making undergo medium-roasting, creating a full-bodied flavour when brewed. While not as famous as Kenya Coffee, Rwanda’s industry has much to offer – as, hopefully, you’re about to discover. The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company pack it fresh to order, our way of ensuring quality and consistency.
Journey From Plant to Roasting Rwandan Coffee
Only around 25% of Rwanda’s 11 million people live in an urban setting. The rest reside in the country, a sizable percentage of whom are Rwandan Coffee farmers. Estates find themselves scattered across hilly terrain and deep valleys.
Elevation has a significant role in the taste and characteristics of the beans, of which 95% derives from high-calibre Arabica Coffee plants.
Most of these were introduced by German missionaries in 1904, despite the fact that nearby Ethiopia was the birthplace of Coffee centuries before. Today, Rwanda Coffee accounts for 60% of the nation’s export earnings; Rwanda Rukeri Tea and others like it make up a further 30%.
When the beans arrive at our Kent-based factory, we roast them using the state-of-the-art Neuhaus Neotec fluidised air-bed system.

Does Rwanda Coffee Have Caffeine?
