Congo Idjwi Island- NEW
From the mist of Lake Kivu, this Congo coffee is a tribute to the resilient women of Idjwi Island. On my journey there, I met Marceline Budza, the force behind Rebuild Women’s Hope—a cooperative turning coffee into a catalyst for hospitals, clean water, and female independence. This lot is a "super clean" standout from the DRC, offering a refined balance of island tradition and modern empowerment.
Every sip is a bridge to Idjwi, delivering a delicate sweetness and a smooth, sophisticated body that reflects the strength of the women who grew it.

sip the story
We celebrate our roots through ethically sourced organic coffee from D.R. Congo, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and beyond!
A LEGACY IN EVERY CUP
Deborah's grandparents owned farms along the Lubilanji River (now known as Sankuru River) in the town of Kamweka, of the Katanga province in southern (DRC) Democratic Republic of Congo. They cultivated many crops, including coffee.
During the ethnic conflict (1960s), most of the family fled and migrated to Mwene Ditu, a town close to Mbuji Mayi, the capital of the Kasai-Oriental province in (DRC). Hence, where their tie to the baluba culture came in.
Deborah comes from a lineage of serious coffee drinkers, farmers, and visionaries, a part of her history she would only learn in 2021 that would bring everything full circle.
