Simbi

Abdul Rudahunga runs Simbi Washing Station in Huye, continuing a family connection to coffee rooted in care and attention.

Abdul Rudahunga is the founder and operator of Simbi Washing Station in Rwanda’s southern Huye district. The station sits at high elevation and works exclusively with Bourbon cherries from surrounding smallholders. Careful picking, patient fermentation and slow drying under clear mountain conditions allow clarity and balance to develop in the cup. This approach highlights Simbi’s calm, refined character, expressed through mellow sweetness and notes of white tea, melon, raisins and milk chocolate.
