This coffee was produced by members of the Ikizere women's group at Muzo, a collective of widowed women and single mothers navigating Rwandan society and the coffee sector—both traditionally patriarchal systems.Perched in the remote hills of Rwanda's Gakenke District, Muzo Station is Baho Coffee's smallest and most cherished washing station. Despite its modest size, it produces some of the country's most celebrated coffees, thanks to its high altitude, cool climate, and rich volcanic soil. Muzo has been a focal point of investment in recent years—expanding land, adding drying beds, and launching a massive seedling distribution program that gifted millions of Red Bourbon seedlings to local farmers.
What truly sets Muzo apart, however, is its deep connection to the community. It's home to the Ikizere women's group—a collective of widows and single mothers who have turned hardship into hope through coffee. With hand-pulped cherries and meticulous processing, Muzo's coffees are a reflection of precision, resilience, and shared growth.
