“Most of the coffee farms are in Gisenyi near Lake Kivu, but there are also farms near and within Kigali,” says Ryan Hirwa, a coffee farmer in Rwanda. “Since the industry is growing, the coffee scene is quite competitive, and we are able to make substantial returns from our crop.” “Four years ago, people didn’t like coffee, but through education, the coffee scene has grown exponentially.” Peter Hitimana, a local guide who offersto locals and travelers, shares."This has helped people learn about the process and growth of beans alongside coffee tastings.”
