By 2001, he was a key figure in the Pearl Project, which played a crucial role in developing Rwanda’s specialty coffee sector. Through this initiative, David introduced advanced practices in farming, harvesting, and processing, helping to raise the quality of Rwandan coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2012, David established his own washing station, Huye Mountain, and began producing organic coffees that quickly gained recognition for their exceptional quality. His dedication paid off in 2012 when he earned an impressive second place at the Cup of Excellence. He continues to support the 7-zone coffee-growing network in the region, providing ongoing assistance to neighboring farmers and ensuring all farmers receive fair payment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place early in the morning. The cherries are then left overnight before undergoing a final soaking stage the next day, lasting 5 to 6 hours to achieve a cleaner result. The moist parchment beans are then sorted for defects before being spread on African beds to dry. The drying process typically takes 7 to 14 days. The coffees from Huye Mountain reflect the unique character of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2020, David built a dry milling facility so that every step in the post-harvest process is managed by the Huye team, evolving the washing station into an independent exporter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swerl Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"250 g \/ Ground for filter coffee","offer_id":54257909563715,"sku":"Nat\/Fil\/Gro\/250","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g \/ Whole beans","offer_id":54257909596483,"sku":"Nat\/Fil\/Bea\/250","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1000 g \/ Ground for filter coffee","offer_id":54257909629251,"sku":"Nat\/Fil\/Gro\/1000","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1000 g \/ Whole beans","offer_id":54257909662019,"sku":"Nat\/Fil\/Bea\/1000","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/3858\/2481\/files\/DSC09637-2_cb64aeb9-c30c-40c3-9be8-b11ec598c6a4.webp?v=1775914565","url":"https:\/\/barista-and-espresso.com\/products\/natural-huye-rwanda","provider":"Barista och Espresso","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
