What If the World Knew Congo Through Its Coffee?
Most people don’t associate Congo with coffee. But they should.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the Democratic Republic of Congo was among Africa’s top coffee exporters. Today, despite ongoing challenges, the country still grows some of the most flavorful, specialty-grade coffee in the world—high elevation, volcanic soil, heirloom varietals. It’s all there.
On June 27th, Congo and Rwanda signed a U.S.-brokered peace agreement aiming to end a decades-long conflict in the east—displacement, instability, and silence. This breakthrough offers a rare glimmer of hope, and a chance to invest again in the land, the people, and the coffee.
Every cup of Kanfuela is a quiet rebellion. It tells a deeper story—one of legacy, culture, and possibility.
