DESCRIPTION
Kanzu washing station is located in the Nyamasheke district of Rwanda’s Western province
When the views are clear from the top of the ridge above the washing stations you can see all the way down to Lake Kivu to the west, which stretches the length of Rwanda’s border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Kanzu is a jewel of a place - organized and well-run, set against green hills of coffee, cassava, sweet potato, sugar cane, bananas, and beans at 1900 masl
Kanzu employs 50 local men and women during the harvest season
From start to finish, harvest in Rwanda runs about 4-5 months from March to July
Lots are separated by each outturn throughout the season
After arriving at the washing station, cherry is floated and pulped, using a McKinnon disc pulper
The coffee in parchment then undergoes a dry fermentation for 16-18 hours before the remaining mucilage is washed off, followed by soaking
This typically takes up to 18 hours before the coffee is dried on raised beds with a mesh bottom, allowing for air circulation
The wastewater from the processing is treated with Effective microorganisms (EMTechnologies™) to secure the local water resources for the nearby community
