Gishyita Lot #E Natural
جيشيتا #E
Gishyita Coffee was built and first started processing coffee in 2010. At
the time, it was owned by a small cooperative, which lacked enough resources
and capacity to handle the harvest. Recently, the cooperative decided to rent
the station to a private operator who ended up with full ownership after the
cooperative agreed to sell.
Providence, who is the new owner, is a young man with ambitions to
develop a successful agri-business. Just only two years since he first started
operating it, the stations has grown to process over 5 containers worth of
coffee, offering both fully washed and natural process coffee.
The station is located in Karongi district, souring coffee from the hills
surrounding Lake Kivu. The coffee enjoys a good rainfall throughout most of the
year, and the high altitude with fertile volcanic soil is the main contributor
to the quality of the coffee.
