Cultivating Excellence in the Heart of Africa
We are a dedicated team of agronomists, quality specialists, and logistics experts united by a single goal: to share Rwanda's finest coffee with the world.
From a local exporter to a trusted partner for specialty buyers worldwide.
From Local Hills to Global Roasters
Founded with a vision to reshape Rwanda's specialty coffee story, RTC has grown from a focused exporting operation into one of the most respected names in East African coffee.
Our story begins in the high-altitude hills of Rwanda, where the climate, soil, and tradition make exceptional Bourbon Arabica possible. We saw early on that farmers needed stronger processing infrastructure, better market access, and long-term partnerships to unlock the full value of their harvest.
Through the development and expansion of washing stations across Rwanda's coffee-growing regions, we created a direct link from the farm to the international market. That connection helps us maintain rigorous quality standards while ensuring a fairer share of value reaches the communities behind every cup.
Precision at Every Step
Today, we operate 33 washing stations and partner with over 70,000 smallholder farmers. We don't just buy their coffee; we invest in their success through comprehensive agronomy training, financial literacy programs, and community development initiatives.
