Rise and grind with the incredible women of Kungahara! Nestled in Rwanda’s lush Western Province, this crew of coffee queens is rewriting the rules of the bean game. Their secret weapon? Energy, innovation, and just the right amount of rebellious spirit. Led by the unstoppable Angelique Tuyisenge, these farmers aren’t just growing coffee—they’re growing a movement.
It all kicked up a notch in 2017 when a Korean non-profit called Beautiful Coffee stepped in, helping with infrastructure, quality training, and marketing magic. They even sent Angelique to a major coffee trade show in Seoul, where she proudly put Kungahara on the global map.
With over 200 women tending their tiny-but-mighty farms (less than half a hectare each!), they gather in “farmer field schools” to swap tips, master new techniques, and keep their coffee skills razor-sharp.
A day in the life? Mornings in the fields, midday cooking up family feasts, afternoons at the market or handling a million other things—because these women do it all. And lucky for us, all that hard work results in a coffee that’s as bold, bright, and full of life as they are.
So go ahead—sip, savor, and celebrate the unstoppable spirit of Kungahara!
