    First of all my guide and teacher, Patti, was amazing. It was only me for the class so I ended up getting a 1:1 session. I learned so much about the origin of coffee, the history of coffee in Kigali and the impact they are making for the women coffee farmers here. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more and taste some great coffee!

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed your session and learned more about our partners' coffee journey. You’re always welcome back for another cup!

    Peggy was so interesting and knowledgeable. She made sure I understood everything from the history of coffee, production, tasting, smelling. We really had fun. And a bonus package of coffee beans mixed with the beans that I enjoyed most. I strongly recommend.

    Highly recommended for any coffee lovers! My friends and I had a great time learning about the history of coffee and how it is grown. We then smelled and tasted 5 different coffees to rate the aroma, flavor, aftertaste, acidity and mouthfeel. Afterwards, we got a bag of our favorite blend to take home.

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    We're thrilled to hear you and your friends had a great time learning about the history of coffee and enjoyed the coffee tasting experience. We hope you enjoyed the bag of your favorite blend. We look forward to welcoming you back to Question Coffee soon.

    Great experience for coffee lovers

    We loved it! So informative and followed the coffee experience from start to finish. A great experience in Kigali

    I would do again, Patrice is great

    So if you like coffee then buy this class, you learn about coffee growing regions in Rwanda, you pick coffee cherries and learn how it is grown and harvest, then you try 4 or 5 different coffees grown there, Patrice is great, easy going, good English

    Excellent class to learn about Rwandan coffee
