Huye Mountain Washing Station, David Rubanzangabo
Huye Mountain coffee comes from southern Rwanda, where David Rubanzangabo founded the Huye Mountain Washing Station in 2012. As a pioneer of Rwanda’s specialty coffee scene, he processes coffee cherries sourced from a network of smallholder farmers across seven growing zones. With a strong focus on quality, sustainable farming, and fair compensation, the result is a distinctive, award-winning coffee with a carefully managed and fully transparent origin.
Variety & Processing
Red Bourbon
Process: Washed
Process: Washed
The Huye Mountain microlot is processed as a washed coffee with great care: the cherries are pulped, fermented, and then washed on the same day before being gently dried on African beds for 7–14 days. The result is an exceptionally clean and complex coffee with a distinct sense of terroir from the Red Bourbon variety.

Description
Rwanda Huye Mountain
Espresso
A vibrant espresso from the Huye Mountain Washing Station in Rwanda, produced by David Rubanzangabo. This lot delivers an elegant balance of fruit and depth: juicy apricot leads the profile, followed by the warm sweetness of toasted almonds and a delicate, lively hint of sour cherry on the finish. Grown in the high-altitude zones of the Huye region and carefully processed at origin, this coffee reflects a long-standing dedication to quality and community. The result is a clean, structured, and complex espresso with a distinctive Rwandan character – precise, elegant, and expressive.

Sustainable cultivation and a commitment to quality
Similar to wine, the origin, cultivation, and careful harvesting form the foundation of a specialty coffee. For our coffees, we use only fully ripe, handpicked 100% Arabica beans, as this labor-intensive manual harvest is a key quality criterion. Our high-altitude coffees are natural products grown sustainably in shaded forest gardens, helping to preserve the biodiversity of the region. At higher, cooler altitudes, the coffee cherries can ripen slowly in nutrient-rich, fertile soils. Under these optimal climatic conditions near the equator, the coffee plants have more time to develop their characteristic and fruity aromas.
Freshly roasted by hand
All Röststätte coffees are gently roasted by hand in Berlin to allow their natural aromas to fully develop without creating unwanted acidity. To achieve a pronounced body and a versatile flavor profile in the cup, our roasting approach aims to highlight and precisely express the unique characteristics of each variety, farm, and origin. Our goal is to unlock the full potential of the green coffee through our roasting style and to honor the valuable work of the producers in the growing regions. These are our quality principles – from source to the final cup.
