Roaster's Word:

"The Washed Mushonyi station is located just one kilometer from the shores of Lake Kivu. The 1,200 farmers who deliver cherries to this station live and farm in the hills surrounding Mushonyi. In these hills, the altitude can vary from a minimum of 1,600 meters above sea level to a maximum of 1,950 meters above sea level. Farmers, on average, grow about 300 coffee trees on their small plots. Many also grow bananas, eucalyptus and cassava to generate additional income.

Mushonyi was originally built by the military. At the time, the army anticipated large volumes of cherries and built the station accordingly. The station has eight fermentation tanks, a standard Washed flume and a shed for sorting cherries prior to pulping. RWACOF maintains this infrastructure in pristine condition, even in years when the capacity of the Washed station exceeds the volume of cherries delivered."
