Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.

I am Mike Mwenedata a Rwandan who is based in Maine, emigrated from Rwanda to the US in 2010. I am the founder of Rwanda Bean Company, a company based on my desire to provide premium coffee products and help farmers efficiently access global markets. I am committed to returning more value to farms by investing 50% of Rwanda Bean’s net profits to community development projects that enhance farm viability and support Rwanda’s growth.

My goal is for Rwanda Bean to transform the lives of coffee farmers in Rwanda and deepen consumers’ connection to what has been accepted as a standard commodity. Rwanda Bean Company currently provides roasted coffee beans, green beans and a newly launched Canned Cold Nitro brew.

Rwanda Bean currently has two coffee shops situated in South Portland and Portland, both locations offer customers an opportunity to purchase already made coffee beverages using our quality coffee beans roasted by us and the option of purchasing coffee beans for your home or office. We also supply green coffee to other roasters.
