A Coffee Reborn in the Hills of Rwanda
From Abandonment to Excellence: The Horizon Supreme Story
In the heart of Rwanda’s Southern Province, among the lush hills of Huye, a coffee station lay dormant—unused, its machinery rusting, its potential fading. But in 2018, a visionary named Fidele saw beyond the neglect. With a background in managing washing stations in Western Rwanda, he recognized an opportunity to revive, restore, and redefine what was possible for Rwandan coffee.
He named it Horizon Supreme, a title reflecting his vision: to create a coffee-processing station that would set new standards of quality, sustainability, and farmer empowerment. And in just a few short years, that vision has taken flight, producing some of the most exquisite Red Bourbon coffee in the country.
Why Horizon Supreme Stands Apart
For coffee lovers, Rwanda is no hidden gem—it’s a celebrated origin, known for bright, juicy acidity and floral elegance. But Horizon Supreme isn’t just another washing station—it’s a testament to transformation, perseverance, and a deep commitment to quality.
At 1,700 meters above sea level, Horizon Supreme enjoys a near-perfect microclimate for growing exceptional coffee. The cool mountain air, rich volcanic soil, and consistent rainfall work in harmony to cultivate Red Bourbon cherries bursting with sweetness and complexity.
But it’s not just nature that makes this coffee extraordinary—it’s the meticulous processing methods employed at Horizon Supreme:
Natural Process – The whole cherries are dried intact on raised beds, absorbing their natural sugars and developing a rich, honeyed body. This results in a deeper, fruit-forward profile with sweet apricot and silky florals, adding layers of depth to an already exquisite coffee.
By embracing the Natural Process, Horizon Supreme allows the full expression of Red Bourbon’s inherent flavors, creating a cup that is bold, sweet, and unmistakably Rwandan.
More Than Coffee: Building a Community
While Horizon Supreme is undeniably focused on quality, its mission extends far beyond coffee. Fidele believes that coffee should uplift not just the drinker, but the hands that grow it.
By providing farmers with education, fair pay, and access to resources, Horizon Supreme ensures that local coffee growers thrive, securing better incomes and long-term sustainability. This station isn’t just processing coffee; it’s nurturing futures, strengthening communities, and creating a lasting impact in Huye and beyond.
In its first year alone, Horizon Supreme processed just two containers of coffee—a humble start. But Fidele’s dedication to growth without sacrificing quality means that every harvest brings new opportunities, more farmers supported, and more Rwandan coffee reaching global markets.
A Cup That Tells a Story
Every sip of Horizon Supreme coffee is a journey—one that starts in the misty hills of Huye and ends in your cup. The honeyed sweetness, floral complexity, and bright apricot acidity speak of the land, the altitude, and the people behind it.
This is more than just coffee. It’s the rebirth of a washing station, a testament to Rwanda’s coffee excellence, and a symbol of what’s possible when passion meets perseverance.
