Production and Quality Processes
Coffee beans are strictly high grown by using good agriculture practices, soils is very rich in nutrients, the coffee crop is shade grown under structurally and floristically diverse shade covers while applying only organic fertilizers and less harmful alternatives to pesticides and fungicides. Both these organic practices of using organic fertilizers and planting shade tree go along way in providing not only the necessary plant nutrition but also assist in providing the complex nutrient balance of our coffee fields which is definitely required to produce nutrient rich fruit.
As result of careful and dedicated work, COOPAC Nyabumera coffee washing station has obtained several Cup of Excellence awards in 2008 and once again this year 215 at 22nd position.
