Lot 12B: Simbi Coffee Invest Ltd, Lot 3 Fully Washed

Simbi coffee is located in the southern province of Rwanda and services between 500 and 800 smallholder coffee farmers who grow high quality Arabica red bourbon coffee. Simbi is a privately owned washing station operated by Abdul Rudahunga, who was inspired to get into the coffee business by his grandmother. Rwanda is blessed with ideal coffee growing conditions that include high altitude, regular rainfall, volcanic soils with good organic structure and an abundance of Bourbon coffee trees. All coffee beans are hand sorted to ensure only the best coffee is picked. In Simbi’s first year of operation, a sample was submitted for The Cup of Excellence competition and achieved 9th place, an incredible achievement given its newcomer status. Such an accolade has inspired its owners to focus on maintaining high quality while increasing production
