Democratic Republic of the Congo Sopacdi Co-op

It is predominately Bourbon Arabica grown at 4,790ft - 6,560ft and fully washed at the new Tsheya Coffee washing station. Farmers are located in the Kalehe and Masisi territories, near Lake Kivu on the Rwandan border. During the conflict years, these farmers were either forced to leave their farms or dangerously smuggle their coffee across Lake Kivu (one of three known "exploding lakes") into Rwanda. Recent dedication to the revival of the land and community has lead to the production of excellent coffee. This coffee exhibits savory vegetal notes, peas, hint of citrus zest.
