Congo Coopade Kivu 3 coffee beans

Origin and Plantation
The COOPADE COOP is located in the mountains of Kyondo by the Virunga National Park and Lake Eduard. It is composed of 2,127 small farmers, 40 % (850) of which are women. Agronomists, experts for rural development, lawyers, accountants and computer scientists support the organisation. Their mission is plain: fighting unemployment and poverty as well as supporting a lasting peace in the Region of Kivu and the surrounding areas.

Character and Taste
Kivu 3 offers a creamy body with a clear, fruity acidity, which is underlined by delicate notes of lemon and hints of chocolate and nuts in the aftertaste.

PARTICULARITIES
Coffee is mainly cultivated by smallholders who use Robusta. It contains a lot of caffeine and is often used in blends with beans that are milder. As opposed to many other Robusta, the one from Congo lacks the typical “burned” taste, which is why its overall impression is much more harmonious.
