Motivated and inspired by its people’s courageous spirit to succeed, it is Coffee of Grace’s mission to enhance the lives of the Rwandan people by empowering them with the opportunity to market their unique products to the world.
Rwanda is a place where the beautiful tapestry of its people and its land is woven together by determination and hope. It is a place where terraced hills and mountains stretch as far as the eye can see. It is a place where some 11 million individuals, most of them farmers, are working to build a sustainable future. It is from this place that we bring to you a collection of coffees that highlight the extraordinary flavor characteristics found within. These coffees represent the promise of a better future; one that harnesses the inner strength of the Rwandan people and the fertility of the land on which they live.
Coffees of Rwanda believes that good business means doing good for the communities in which we work. Inspired by the spirit of the Rwandan people, I have created these coffees as a way to celebrate and support the coffee farmers of Rwanda. Through direct sourcing, fair trade, ethical practices and environmental stewardship, our dedication to the coffee farmers of Rwanda will allow them to create a sustainable business that can be passed from one generation to the next.
