In 2016, Karthick and Gaudam, two brothers with a vision, founded Muraho with a clear mission: to redefine how coffee is cultivated, elevate its quality to exceptional levels, and, crucially, ensure that the farmers producing it benefit in meaningful ways. Plotcoffee's (our importer for this coffee) first visit to Kilimbi CWS in May 2024 marked a pivotal moment in their journey. They drive out to the Western Province, specifically the lush, high-altitude region of Nyamasheke District. There, they had the chance to visit the Kilimbi Washing Station, a key site operated by their trusted partners at Muraho Trading Co.

Reaching Kilimbi was an experience in itself — they crossed Lake Kivu by boat for the first time to get there. On arrival, they were impressed by the station’s meticulous processing methods, with a particular standout being their honey-processed coffees. The atention to detail and commitment to quality were immediately evident.
