Gasharu Coffee is a family-owned and producer-owned coffee company established in Rwanda in 1973. Founder Celestin Rumenerangabo grew up in a difficult environment, walked for three days to the capital, Kigali, at the age of 14, and saved money by working as a live-in employee. He bought land at 17 and planted 380 coffee trees, marking the beginning of his journey.

Starting with small-scale trading, the company eventually grew to become one of the largest parchment suppliers in the region. In 2006, the Birembo processing station was established, and in 2014, "Gasharu Coffee" was launched anew. Currently, his sons Chris and Valentin are also involved in the management, creating many jobs at the farms and washing stations.

Located in a blessed environment near Lake Kivu and Nyungwe National Park, the altitude, soil, and climate all support the production of high-quality specialty coffee.
