Fugi COFFEE WASHINGSTATION

Located in the Southern Province of Rwanda, Fugi is nestled between the Nyungwe National Forest and the border of Burundi. It’s quickly becoming our favorite in the Baho network, producing consistently excellent washed and natural lots.  Furthermore, it’s transformed into what Emmanuel has called Baho’s hub for innovation.  Nearly 50% of Fugi’s production was alternatively (honey, natural, or experimental) processed during the 2021 season.

 

Fugi was built in 2013, but it was purchased by Emmanuel in 2016. Since then, he’s dedicated this station to solely producing specialty-grade coffee. Fugi was Emmanuel’s very first station; and thus, it’s a key component of the foundation upon which Baho Coffee was built.  It’s the third smallest station in the Baho collection, purchasing cherries from around 950 smallholder farmers and producing 900 bags of exportable specialty-grade coffee each year.
