Toasted cereal notes and mild fruitiness

The rain-rich volcanic soils along the Kivu lakeshores of Eastern Congo are ideal Arabica terroir. Years of continued conflict and political instability leave many plantations abandonded and smallholder farmers tapping only a small fraction of Congo's potential for specialty coffee. NESPRESSO's REVIVING ORIGINS program joins together with the South Kivu farmers and partners to support coffee communities in raising Congo coffee to its full stature. REVIVING ORIGINS congo is still a scarce treasure to behold.

ROASTING

Reviving Origins Congo is a 50/50 split roast. Both splits are dark and short, with the first split being slightly darker and longer to develop more intensity for this coffee. Both splits get a medium grind.

ORIGIN

The rich volcanic soils of the Kivu lakeshores are fertile ground for Congo's farmers to bring you this mild coffee's fruity and sweet cereal notes.

Het verhaal

Congo heeft een lange koffietraditie, maar politieke instabiliteit verdreef veel boeren van hun plantages en brachten de Congolese koffieproductie drastisch terug. Tegenwoordig benut Congo slechts een fractie van het volledige potentieel, met een productie die meer dan 10 keer kleiner is dan in buurland Oeganda. Het grootste deel van de productie bestaat uit Robusta (ongeveer 80%). Terwijl de oevers van het Kivumeer juist voor de Arabica een uitzonderlijk terroir bieden voor koffie van de hoogste kwaliteit. De vulkanische bodem levert voedingsstoffen zoals fosfor en kalium en de drainage en porositeit van de grond maken dat de planten zich makkelijk kunnen ontwikkelen.
