MEET RWANDA BEAN!

Beans That Give Back

Rwanda Bean was founded in 2013 with the mission to support the community of coffee farmers who are growing a stronger Rwanda by sharing their harvests and stories with the wider world. It started with just a couple of pounds of raw beans shipped from Rwanda for a taste-test, and it’s growing to become an amazing community of caring people who believe in giving back. As you are about to take that first sip of our delicious coffee—just stop and pat yourself on the back. Remember, every sip you take helps someone in need. There’s no better way to start a day than with a great cup of coffee and a good deed.

Harvested By Hand In Rwanda

Rwanda has endless rolling hills dotted with lush trees, home to mountain gorillas, and small coffee farms. High altitude and tropical climate are ideal for growing high-quality coffee. The peak harvest is from May on. The coffee farmers pick the coffee cherries, dry them, and sort them all by hand.

Expertly Roasted In Portland, ME

We value freshness, flavor, and aroma above all else. Our beans are expertly roasted in Portland, Maine by Master Roaster John Walsh. Each unique roast brings out the subtle nuances of the nutrient-rich volcanic soil and exquisite flavors only found in the mountains of Rwanda.

Giving Back 50% Of The Profits

Rwandan farmers cultivate some of the finest, specialty Bourbon Arabica in the world, and yet they typically receive less than 1% of what consumers pay for a cappuccino. Our company was founded on profit sharing by giving 50% back to the farmers to provide healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
