"Hobe" is a term used in Rwanda to welcome people into the community – it means "to embrace."

Hobe Coffee is a relatively young company located in the Rutsiro District in the western region near Lake Kivu and is owned by Arsene Mustafali. The coffee washing station and its surrounding growing area previously operated under the name Cyondo WS but were sold in 2020. Since then, Arsene Mustafali and his station manager, John Claude, along with their young and dynamic team, have made significant improvements: new covered drying beds and processing tanks have been built, and electricity has been installed for the first time.

The results speak for themselves – the quality of Hobe Coffee is truly impressive!
