Notes from the importer...
Once arrived at our CWS we use a floating system to remove bad cherries before processing. After pulping, the coffee is fermented overnight between 8-12 hours and we proceed with grading in floating channels which separates coffee by its density. This stage is followed by pre-drying on tables in covered shelters and then on open drying tables for prolonged drying. These 2 phases are characterised by intensive sorting, mostly done by casual female workers.
Each farmer has his own record booklet where the coffee cherries supplied are recorded on daily basis. Farmers receive the payment upon delivery. The price paid to farmers is usually set by the government at the start of the harvest season. But Tropic Coffee aims to always pay a bonus for the higher quality of coffee supplied in order to provide a better life to their workers and families.
Currently, the coffee washing station has capacity of processing more than 200 Mt of ORGANIC CERTIFIED coffee, whereby more than 50% of coffee processed comes from this jointly managed farm (Bukekera Coffee Estate) mostly owned by a group of women of the KOPIGUKA Cooperative.
