Congo Kivu Bukavu-Beni - Bourbon

This was the most popular coffee On Siphon this week!

Securing a Specialty Grade coffee from the East Congo (Kivu) presents numerous obstacles. The politics of the region and internal struggles over mineral wealth top the list, and farmers are the first to be displaced in the midst of civil unrest. This is a special preparation triple-picked lot from the 4000 farmers of Soprocopiv cooperative, with farms stretching from the towns of Bukavu to Berni.

In the cup it's ripe peach, banana, mango and pear with an earthy raw sugar and molasses sweetness.
