Huye Mountain Coffee
A specialty coffee cooperative on Huye Mountain, offering a complete experience of a cup of Rwandan coffee, from picking, pulping, fermenting and drying to roasting and tasting.
Rwanda's high-altitude Bourbon coffee is known for its bright fruit acidity. The coffee tour here takes about 2–3 hours and includes a climb to coffee fields with views over Huye, a visit to the washing station, and a roasting and tasting session. It costs about US$30–40 and must be arranged in advance. From March to June, during the harvest season, you can see the entire process of fresh coffee cherry handling. Located about 8 km outside Huye town.
