Direct traceability and transparency are core values at Baho Coffee network in Rwanda. The Fugi washing station focuses exclusively on specialty coffee, setting it apart in both quality and consistency. Like in much of Africa, coffee production in Rwanda is dominated by smallholder farmers contributing very small volumes. Afrodis, the station manager,  personally oversees nearly every aspect of operations. 

This hands-on approach makes it possible to achieve fully traceable lots, something still exceptionally rare in East Africa. Fugi played a pivotal role in the launch of Baho Coffee and remains a cornerstone of its operations today.  These tiny yields also explain why producers rely on centralized washing stations like Fugi, rather than building their own costly wet and dry mills.

Nestled in the fertile soils of the Antigua Valley, Finca Pulca is a heritage rich farm dating back to 1541. Cultivated by the Zelaya family since the 1800s, this third-generation farm acquired and produced Arabica coffee. Situated in the unique microclimate and elevated points of the prestigious soils in the Antigua Valley, Maria Zelaya Aguirre undergoes meticulous processing and washing with crystal-clear spring water from the surrounding mountains. The estate takes a proactive approach to cultivation with well-spaced trees and a three year pruning cycle which boosts airflow, light and healthy plants. 

In the highlands of Carmo de Minas, Brazil, the Pereira family has cultivated coffee for five generations. Grown at 1100–1200 masl, their Acaiá, Catucaí Amarelo, and Bourbon Amarelo coffees are handpicked at peak ripeness to capture the region’s vibrant flavours. The families commitment to sustainability is evident in every detail, from pristine spring water and solar-powered energy to composted byproducts from their dairy cattle that enrich the soil. For the Pereiras, coffee is more than a crop, it’s a legacy of quality, care, and respect for the land.

David Flores, a third-generation coffee producer, serves as the general manager of Finca El Morito. The farm boasts a diverse range of coffee beans, including Yellow Caturra, Bourbon, Typica, Geisha, Marshall, Catuai, and Catimor. Employing a meticulous approach, the farm engages in selective harvesting, followed by a waterless pulping process. The coffee undergoes washing and fermentation for 8 to 12 hours in cherry form, and an additional 72 hours in parchment after pulping. The drying process occurs under transparent calamine dryer modules and solar tents, typically taking 26 to 30 days on average.

Finca El Morito prioritizes environmentally friendly practices, utilizing compost for coffee cultivation while minimizing fertilizer usage. Nestled within the natural surroundings of the forest, the farm embodies a commitment to harmonizing with the local environment. Investing in post-harvest technology, the farm features tanks, tubs, drying areas, and warehouses. Moreover, management activities are in place for soil conservation, water utilization, preservation of native species, and the incorporation of compost into coffee trees.
