The Ibisi Mountain Hills washing station is located in the Ibisi bya Huye mountain of Southern Rwanda, just a short drive from the Nyungwe Forest. Bernard Uwitije, a native of the area, had been trading non-washed, ordinary coffee up until 2015, when he realized the potential for fully washed, specialty grade coffee. He built his first washing station, Gitega Hills, which operated successfully in his first year and he decided to expand the operations by building a second washing station, Ibisi Mountain into 2017.

Ibisi Mountain Coffee Lot 002 is Winner of Rwanda Cup of Excellence 2018 on 23rd rank with 87,29 Average Score.

Ibisi Mountain Coffee works with more than 2000 farmers, among them 845 farmers work into 25 groups with their farms certified C.A.F.E Practices, 45% of them are women. We are working hard to certify remaining farms either for C.A.F.E Practices or other Certifications for diversification. From the beginning the quality of the coffee from ibisi Mountain has been outstanding but the quantity is also increasing from 560 tons (2017) to 790 tons (2018).
Following the pulping of freshly delivered cherry, the coffee is wet fermented and then the beans are sorted by density using water filled grading channels. The wet parchment is dried under cover for 24 hours before being moved to uncovered drying beds for an average of 15 days. During that period the coffee is continually hand sorted by an army of brightly clothed women, who are meticulous in their removal of defect beans.
Part of the income generated by the station each year after repayment of loans is given as premium to farmers to support our 2000 farmers community to pay health insurance scheme, school fees for their children and sometimes upgrade their homes and lifestyle.
We are actually working with Rwanda Trading Company LTD (RTC) as our financing and marketing partner and still have room for other reliable and committed partners to give the real value to our outstanding quality coffee and our beloved farmers.
