Nyabumera is a washing station with a story of revival. Dormant for many years, it was purchased just two seasons ago by Providence, a young and ambitious coffee operator already well-regarded in the region. What he acquired was little more than a rundown wet mill—no functioning drying beds, worn-out tanks, and a layout begging for reinvention. Through careful renovation, Providence rebuilt Nyabumera into a clean, modern facility and has quietly guided it through the last two harvests with focus and intent.

The station receives cherry from smallholder farmers in Nyamasheke, a district known for its high altitudes, rich soils, and gentle, steady rainfall rolling in from the Nyungwe Forest. These natural conditions—cool nights, warm days, and reliable moisture—create an ideal environment for slow ripening and dense, high-quality coffee. Providence’s long-standing relationship with the farmers and the Rwanda Trading Company helped ensure a smooth transition, with many growers already familiar with his work at his other wet mill.

The results have been exceptional. In just two seasons, Nyabumera has established itself as a quietly reliable source of clean, sweet Rwandan coffees with mild acidity and a pleasing, lingering aftertaste. The cup is a reflection of both the region’s natural gifts and Providence’s commitment to producing coffees of clarity and precision. For a once-silent station now humming with potential, Nyabumera’s resurgence is both a personal triumph and a welcome addition to Rwanda’s specialty landscape.
