Sprout Gasharu Ireme – Rwanda

Sprout Coffee

Sprouted from the love of coffee, the belief that we can give meaning and value to our dedicated farmers and a desire to create a sustainable chain of coffee production.

Treating the best green coffee we can get our hands on with all the love, respect and craftsmanship we’ve got.

Assisting our fellow baristas to pull the best shots possible, making the consumer fall in love with all the experience coffee brings.”

Rwanda - Valentin Kimenyi

Producer Valentin Kiyenmi shares his vision behind this particular coffee offering. “The Ireme (Authentic) experimental lot is inspired by the emotional connection of our family to the coffee community as a whole. Coffee farming, processing, and distribution for consumption have been kept in silos and our family believes that this can change. The idea of this coffee is to provide the most authentic coffee cup of Rwandan coffee to coffee lovers, making the consumer think of the producer as the grower and also keeping the buyer in mind when processing the coffee”.

Gasharu Coffee’s team takes great care to monitor and enhance the fermentation process and duration to achieve the desired complexity and depth that will provide a memorable experience to coffee lovers. “At Gasharu Coffee we believe that a cup of authentic coffee can truly connect communities”, Kimenyi states. “As a coffee farming family and member of a coffee community, our hope is that Ireme (Authentic) Coffee will convey our motivation to connect with the consumers and their communities and build meaningful and sustainable relationships between both communities”.
