About coffee
Located close to Lake Muhazi, at an altitude of 1800-2000 meters above sea level, Nova Coffee was founded by Agnes and her husband Felix in 2015.
Today Nova processes its own coffee from their own 155 hectare plantation along with the coffee from over 2,800 small-holder coffee farmers. Nova takes great care to implement socially, ethically, and environmentally responsible practices. Through their “Ikawa-Sawa Project”, the company works with the surrounding community to support beekeeping projects and sustainable farming initiatives, as well as distributing young coffee trees to new farmers.
Through the project, over 30,000 young coffee trees have been distributed to surrounding households since 2020. Nova Coffee strongly believes in gender equality and the support of women farmers, and Agnes is committed to bringing recognition to the role women play not only in Rwandan coffee but also to their role in building the future of Rwanda.
Nova works closely with their women farmers to help them purchase land to grow coffee as well as providing the training and support such as providing fertilizers to take care of the coffee plants and assistance with loans.
