The second Rwanda of the season comes from CWS in the Nyamasheke District. This is a naturally processed lot with lots of character and a surprisingly clean cup.

The CWS is located in the Western Province of Rwanda, within the Nyamasheke District, in the Kanjongo Sector. It is privately owned by C. Dorman Rwanda. The coffee is cultivated by 603 small-holding farmers , with an average altitude for the catchment area ranging from 1830 to 1950 meters above sea level. The average cherry production is 800-900 MT per year.
The processing method for this coffee is a natural process. Only the best cherries from identified farmers are received at the CWS and undergo proper sorting to remove defects. The cherries are floated in a tank to remove floaters, and only the high-density red cherries are kept. The drying process takes place on flat tables with close-knit wire mesh and shade nets. Cherries are turned every 30-40 minutes and are heaped in the middle of the table during peak sunshine to prevent cell damage from excessive heat. This process takes between 35 and 40 days to reach the desired moisture content of 11.5%
