FUGI, LIGHT ROAST

Our latest coffee is exceedingly special as it marks a new level of traceability for our offerings at Others. To achieve this we worked with Sundog Trading -- a specialty coffee importer who works exclusively with Emmanuel Rusatira, owner of Baho Coffee in Rwanda. As a result of the amazing relationship Sundog has developed with Baho, we now have access to a wealth of information regarding the cultivation of your coffee. 

To start, "Fugi" gets its name from the washing station at which it was processed. Located in the Southern Province of Rwanda, Fugi is nestled between the Nyungwe National Forest and the border of Burundi. The producer group (farmers) responsible for this coffee is made up of farmers who've been growing coffee their entire lives. Many of the contributing farmers are elderly, cultivating coffee for over 40 years. In fact, the producer group was given the name "Warakoze Musaza" which roughly translates to "thank you old man" in Kinyarwanda, as a sign of respect and homage for the age and experience of its members. 

If you think that was a lot, just know that we summarized as much as we could to make it more digestible. We sincerely hope you enjoy the unique profile of this coffee as we hope to expand our relationship with Sundog and Baho over the coming years!
