Description
Bean There's newest addition to their portfolio is a 250G bag of single origin coffee beans from the Democratic Republic of Congo's North Kivu region. These beans are grown by farmers who are part of the Virunga Cooperative, which was established by a European importer to help rebuild the country's coffee industry. The beans have fruity flavors with a vibrant acidity and are grown at an altitude of 1600-1750 meters above sea-level. They are harvested from April to June and are a mix of Bourbon and Blue Mountain varietals, processed using the fully washed method.
This newest addition to Bean There's portfolio of African single origin coffee beans is wonderfully unusual both in its origins and its flavours. A product of the re-emerging coffee industry in the Democratic Republic of Congo, there's much more to it than just a rare source. We find its fruity flavours pronounced yet subtly sweet. Its vibrant acidity is perhaps what makes it most interesting with an incredible crispness and mouthfeel that you might describe as tangy or zesty.
These coffee beans are grown by farmers who are members of the recently formed Virunga Cooperative which operates in the Kivu province in the eastern region of the DRC. Established by Schluter, a European importer specialising in African coffee, Virunga provides training to farmers as well as access to international coffee markets. This effort contributes to rebuilding the DRC and re-establishing the formerly significant coffee producing industry in that country.
