Simbi: The Story of a Resilient Coffee

At OR Coffee, we have a deep connection to the coffee from Simbi Coffee Washing Station, located in Rwanda's beautiful Huye district. This is more than just coffee; it's a story of hope and resilience. After the dark events of 1994, coffee has helped establish Rwanda as a top producer of specialty beans.

Our friend, Abdul Rudahunga, was inspired by his grandmother's coffee legacy and now supervises a community of around 1,850 small farmers. For years, they have been producing exceptional coffee for us, with each bean reflecting their dedication to quality.

The Journey from Cherry to Cup

The journey of Simbi coffee is a meticulous process. It starts with farmers hand-picking and carefully sorting each coffee cherry before it arrives at the washing station. Established in 2013, the station is equipped to process a significant amount of coffee each season.

Once the cherries are pulped, they go through a wet fermentation process and are then sorted by density in water channels. The parchment is dried for 24 hours under cover, then for an average of 15 days on uncovered drying beds. This careful process ensures that every bean carries the unique flavors that make Rwandan coffee so special.

2. The Huye District

Huye, in Rwanda’s Southern Province, is celebrated for its high-altitude coffee farms, fertile volcanic soil, and ideal climate conditions. These elements come together to produce coffees with unique flavor profiles, characterized by sweetness and bright acidity. The region’s proximity to the bustling town of Butare adds accessibility while retaining its strong connection to traditional farming practices.

Farmers in Huye emphasize quality and sustainability, ensuring the cherries brought to Abdoul’s washing station meet the highest standards. This attention to detail ensures Rwanda Ngera’s consistent flavor and velvety mouthfeel.

3. Roasting process

Crafting the perfect light roast for a washed African coffee is a delicate dance. The goal is to develop the beans just enough to bring out their inherent sweet and fruity notes, all while preserving the vibrant acidity that makes them so unique. We achieve this by meticulously managing the gas settings and airflow, a process that results in a coffee with a clean, vibrant flavor that's both approachable and complex.
