2 Day From Crop To Cup Lake Kivu Coffee Experience
Fish once meant starvation despite abundance. Coffee meant whips and trauma. Join night fishermen under star-lit waters and coffee farmers at sunrise—both transforming rejection into freedom. Taste both reclamations yourself.
What if what you reject holds exactly what you need?
Fish: taboo for centuries. Coffee: forced with whips.
In 1942, famine struck. People starved beside a lake full of fish. Colonial whips still cracked on backs for coffee they'd never drink.
One chief defied both. Refused to let his people be whipped. Roasted a fish instead.
Two rejections broken. One night.
Fish? Embraced. The lake became food.
Coffee? Still rejected. Even after independence. Even when it became profitable.
Then came the Starbucks revolution. Coffee got trendy in Kigali. Status. Belonging. The middle class sipped it in cafés.
But the farmers? Still not drinking it. It wasn't theirs.
Until tourists showed up at their farms. Farmers walked them through the process. Pick. Pulp. Roast. Grind.
And at the end, they tasted it. Their own coffee. For the first time. Because curiosity is contagious.
You're invited to both stories. Night fishing where belief broke. Coffee tours where farmers reclaim what pain took.
