About Gasharu Coffee

Celestin Rumenerangabo started Gasharu Coffee in 1976. He started young as a farmer and a buyer of cherries. Gasharu Coffee steadily turned into a family business over the years. With the help of his mother and wife Celestin started running the business with enhanced efficiency. Gasharu coffee started supporting schooling for children from coffee farming families. 

Valentin Kimenyi is the current manager of Gasharu coffee taking over the business from his father Celestin Rumenerangabo. Today, they have 2 processing stations in Gasharu and Muhororo and are exporting beans to 1650 farmers daily. 

Coffee has been an important part of the community since the 1994 Tutsi Genocide and Gasharu coffee has been an integral part of it. They have been focusing on making the highest quality coffee possible. 

"With local businesses being taken over by large multinational companies, we are aware that we have to make Gasharu Coffee more resilient. We have improved our sourcing and processing methods, encouraging curiosity about innovative ideas to take coffee to the next level, producing naturals, honey and experiments" says Valentin.
