This lot has been produced by Aime Gahizi on his private farm. It is processed in the Gitesi Washing Station, which he also owns.
The cherries of this lot are processed separately from the rest of the cherries entering the station and then exported as a single-farmer coffee.

Gitesi is a private washing station owned and run by a father and son team, Alexis and Aime Gahizi. The washing station was built in 2005 and began processing coffee in 2006, it is located in the Gitesi sector in the Western Province of Rwanda. In the early years they were struggling to keep the washing station operating, and they have fought hard to make it a profitable business. Finally in 2010, they managed to turn a profit and have since built a sustainable company.

The season for Rwanda can run from March through to August. This can always shift a little depending on the weather and the altitude the coffee is being grown at.

Farms are generally very small family owned operations, the family care for the plants and pick the cherries themselves. Usually they will also grow crops for their own consumption, and there are a few farmers with more land.
There are more than 1,800 farmers in the local community delivering their cherry to Gitesi washing station for processing. Competition for cherry can be pretty tough, farmers can deliver to whichever washing station they want. Maintaining a good supply of cherry is dependent on the relationships Gitesi has with farmers, and being able to offer competitive pricing. The second payment system that they run here is part of establishing and maintaining cherry supply.
The Gitesi Washing Station is CAFÉ Practices certified and Rainforest Alliance certified. They have a modern wastewater management system and produce organic or natural fertiliser through coffee pulp. They also have a pilot program where farmers can learn about growing different types of produce, so that they can have some income outside the coffee season.
