I began my professional journey in 2017, working in the field of Information Technology (IT). Although that was my main line of work at the time, I gradually developed a deep interest in coffee not just drinking it, but truly understanding it. Coincidentally, I was already working in a coffee-related environment, which only fueled my curiosity and passion to learn more about this unique product.

Eventually, I transitioned from IT into Coffee Logistics, and it was during this time that I identified a major gap in the international coffee market. I noticed that many international buyers were facing challenges when They try to access the quality of specialty coffee easily and reliably. That’s when I started my Idea, why not create a platform that simplifies this process and bridges the gap between Rwandan coffee producers and global consumers or buyers?

This led to the founding of Ijabo Coffee in 2021 a company with a mission to elevate and share Rwanda’s specialty coffee with the world. We built a digital platform where anyone, anywhere in the world, can learn about and purchase authentic Rwandan coffee. Through this platform, we ensure transparency, traceability, and convenience for our customers while supporting the livelihoods of local farmers.

Today, Ijabo Coffee stands as a shining example of how we can use innovation and passion to promote our local products globally. Our work not only transforms lives mine included but also uplifts the communities of farmers we work with and the customers we proudly serve around the world.
