A true masterpiece of flavor, Ngororero Fully Washed offers a delicate yet complex experience, capturing the essence of its rich origins. Each sip unfolds layers of vibrant fruit, subtle florals, and natural sweetness, creating a cup that is both refined and deeply satisfying.
Bright berry notes dance alongside hints of citrus and honey, balanced by a silky, smooth body and a crisp, clean finish. Its careful processing enhances the coffee’s clarity and depth, bringing out a well-structured acidity that elevates its natural richness.
Ngororero Coffee Washing Station is owned and operated by Rwacof Exports Ltd, a subsidiary of the global trading company Sucafina. Rwacof is one of the largest coffee processors and exporters in Rwanda, with significant investments in the coffee sector, including operations at 22 out of the country’s 300 coffee washing stations.
Ngororero focuses primarily on fully washed coffee processing, while also experimenting with honey and natural processing in smaller quantities. After purchasing ripe coffee cherries from farmers, a strict selection process is conducted, which includes flotation to remove lower-quality cherries and visual inspection by trained staff.
