About The Coffee: Kabirizi washing station was established in 2004 and has placed in the Cup of Excellence competition. The surrounding communities of Gateko, Rwinyoni, and Nganzo contribute coffees to the Kabirizi washing station. It is run by Coopérative pour la Promotion des Activités Café or COOPAC.
COOPAC is a Fair Trade–certified cooperative located near Lake Kivu on the steep slopes of volcanic mountains. COOPAC is also committed to environmental and social sustainability in addition to producing high-quality coffee. Waste by-products from processing are used as fertilizer rather than discarded into the lake, and shade trees are distributed to farmers to prevent soil erosion. They have assisted in the construction of a school, healthcare clinics, and roads and bridges in the community.
