Description
Embark on a journey of flavor with our DR Congo Fully Washed Kivu Nyamasasa coffee. This extraordinary coffee, grown at 1800 meters on the shores of Lake Kivu, is a testament to the dedication and resilience of 1,930 farmers. Each farmer, cultivating an average of 1/3 hectare, brings together their strengths to produce a coffee that is as rich in story as it is in flavor.
The Nyamasasa washing station, founded in 2021, is a young company that has already made a significant impact by exporting three to five containers of specialty coffee each year. The coffee cherries, hand-picked at optimal ripeness, are delivered fresh to the washing station. Here, they undergo a meticulous fully washed process and are dried on raised beds. Once processed, the coffee is sorted and prepared for export at the Jumbo Safari dry mill in Goma before making its journey to the port of Mombasa, Kenya, or Tanzania.
Our DR Congo Fully Washed Kivu Nyamasasa coffee is a harmonious blend of high acidity, above-average body, and high sweetness. With vibrant notes of pear, lime, floral, and cherry, this coffee offers a truly unique and delightful tasting experience. The rich volcanic soil and the high altitude of the Kivu region contribute to its distinctive flavor profile, making it a standout among specialty coffees.
