Origin Story

The mythical status of Congolese coffee correlates to the country of the Democratic Republic of Congo itself, and the fact that its people and landscape have fascinated storytellers and mythmakers for centuries. The country is filled with rich wonders of natural beauty. This outstanding area of natural wonder includes volcanoes, mountains of high elevation, and Lake Kivu. This diverse landscape combined with the rich and fertile soil creates the ideal conditions for unique beans. Our premium selection of Congolese beans are grown at an altitude of between 1,000 and 2,100 meters in Kivu which is located at the border of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, the Kivu area is unfortunately not only known for its spectacular cup profiles, as the area is subject to ongoing conflicts, cooperation between coffee farmers, Farm Africa and the Virunga National Park is encouraging peace through the growth of specialist coffee. The beans that they produce there are bursting with vibrant fruity aromas and have notes of pleasant acidity.
