HISTORY

The station’s name may be inspired by the abundance of cattle in the

region, but Masha Washing Station knows coffee. Over

1,128 farmers deliver their cherry to the station and thanks to

excellent quality control on farms and at the station, the resulting

coffee is juicy, clean and full-bodied.

Masha station was built in 1989. Masha station shares its name with

the sub-hill upon which it stands. The sub-hill is actually more

famous for its cattle than its coffee. The name Masha comes from

the Kirundi word “amasho”, meaning “herds of cattle”. The sub-hill

has been a crossroad for many herds in the region. Many of the local

herders greet each other with a unique phrase only used in this

region. They say, “gira amasho”, which means “owner of cows”.
