Single-origin coffee beans DR Congo Kivu
The prepared “DR Congo Kivu” coffee entices with an aroma of sweet marzipan and dried dates, while a note of fruity sweetness and an extremely subtle sourness of a citrus fruit unfolds in its taste. A long-lasting and pleasant aftertaste of dark chocolate lingers for some time after having a cup.
VARIETY
Bourbon
Nowadays, coffee trees of a Bourbon variety are extremely popular among coffee farmers. Not only are they much more productive, but, most importantly, coffee made from these coffee beans is sweeter.
PROCESS
Washed
During the wet processing coffee bean is separated from the berry using water. As a result, coffee has a very clean taste, it reveals notes of fruits and berries. It is easier to determine predominant tasting notes when processing this way.
REGION
Kivu
Located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the region of Lake Kivu is renowned not only for its astounding beauty, but also for its unique soil, tropical heat and humidity. Coffee plantations cover the area near Mount Nyiragongo, a powerful volcano, where nutrient-rich soil, which is perfect for coffee farming, is found.
FARM
Small farmers
In the last decade of the 20th century, due to repeated volcanic eruptions and a brutal civil war, most coffee farms were destroyed almost completely. Nowadays, these farms are being rebuilt — this is a cause of enormous joy both for the locals, who can work in the farms and earn a decent living, and coffee lovers, who can once again enjoy the unique taste of the region’s coffee.
