The day starts with a briefing before a beautiful drive out to the village. On arrival you will be welcomed and get dressed in appropriate attire. Then its off to the fields and to the coffee plants. You learn about the plants and how to select the right cherries and then how to harvest them. You will then fetch water or if you prefer you can head to the kitchen to help with food preparation. Once the water is collected you will wash and pulp the coffee cherries and leave them out to dry. Lunch will be local Rwandan food that the family would normally eat. This is a good time to ask your hosts about life in their community. After lunch its time to hand roast and grind dried coffee beans using traditional tools. Once ground, the coffee is sieved to get the fine grounds to use for your cup of coffee. Then the moment we have all been waiting for you get to make the perfect cup of traditional Rwandan Coffee to enjoy with your new friends.
