This coffee comes from the Virunga region in North Kivu. Bordering on Uganda and Rwanda the terroir in this region is ideal for high quality fruity coffees with a heavy mouthfeel and unique black tea and vanilla notes. This particular lot comes from the washing station in Virunga. The mountain range is famous for housing the Virunga National park where park rangers fight to protect gorillas from poachers.

Robusta is native to DRC but arabica was introduced by the Belgians during the colonisation in the late 1800s. In the 1970s and 80s production high a peak with the country becoming the biggest producer on the continent. In the 90s there was a massive decline due to civil war and coffee plant disease. Over the last couple of decades we have seen a resurgence of coffee from here and are super excited to share this one with you.

Kevin ★★★★★

That heavy mouthfeel is exactly what I look for in a morning brew, and this delivers with a smoothness that lingers. The black tea note comes through clearly on the finish, which makes it feel more complex than your average African coffee. I've already reordered twice.

Sebastian Y. ★★★★★

I was a little skeptical about a coffee described as having a "black tea" note, but it's surprisingly elegant—that fruity acidity really sings through the heavy body. Perfect for slow weekend mornings when I want something complex without any bitterness.

Isabella ★★★★★

The mouthfeel is incredibly heavy and smooth, almost syrupy, which makes it feel more like a dessert than a morning brew. I’ve been sipping it black and the fruity notes keep revealing themselves as it cools. Definitely a coffee that stands out from the usual stuff I find at the supermarket.
