Burundi - Nyagashiha

A true beauty: sweet fruits, delicate flowers and a wonderful mouthfeel. A winner from the 2019 Cup of Excellence competition. 

Nyagashiha CWS is located in the high hills that overlook Lake Tanganyika, the second deepest lake in the world. The 83 farming families that deliver to the station have a long history of coffee farming. In the face of low coffee prices, these families and the washing station have sought to access more lucrative specialty markets. They continue to improve their quality year on year and succeeded in placing in 2019’s Burundi Cup of Excellence.    

Nyagashiha CWS is run by The Societe d’Usinage et de Commercialisation du Cafe du Mumirwa (SUCCAM), which is working to increase prices across all their 13 washing stations. SUCCAM has partnered with various European roasters to help producers to earn sustainable incomes.All Participating farms have a high level of quality protection, environmental protection, traceability and social improvement. Giving them the right tools to improve their reputation, coffee prices, welfare and wellbeing.
