Congo Kivu Rainforest
Our Congo Kivu Rainforest beans hail from the region’s abundant rainfall and rich volcanic soil. Grown on the outskirts of the Virunga National Park, which is home to some of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas, right in South Kivu, D.R. Congo. At 1693 meters above sea level, they soak up the sun and the altitude, resulting in a seriously good cup. Producers cultivate both natural and honey coffees on shaded, raised beds. This Congolese, organic, single-origin coffee presents a remarkably complex and satisfying flavor profile, making it a true gem for those who appreciate the distinctive characteristics of fruity, dry-processed African coffees. Roasted Medium.

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.
