Rwanda Bean Coffee is a small to mid-sized coffee company based in Portland, Maine, operating in the Food and Beverage Services industry. It sources Grade A Bourbon Arabica beans from Rwanda's highlands, a region whose volcanic soil, equatorial location, and high elevation are cited as contributing to a rich flavor profile. The company runs the Fifty Percent for Farmers program, which directs half of its profits to support farmers and their communities, funding health, education, clean energy, and other operational needs.

The business centers its mission on social impact within the coffee supply chain, tying consumer purchases to support for Rwanda's farming communities. Its founder, Mike Mwenedata, frames the venture around lessons of education and compassion and a desire to improve livelihoods in Rwanda. In 2023, Rwanda Bean Coffee announced closures of its Portland, Maine offices and its Thompsons Point retail cafe as part of organizational changes.
