From Highland Blossoms to Your Cup

DR Congo Mukwinja Coffee

In the fertile highlands of South Kivu, DR Congo, the Mukwinja farm cultivates Bourbon and Typica coffee cherries at elevations ranging from 4900 to 6500 feet. These cherries are carefully harvested from smallholder farms, then undergo a meticulous washed process. Post-harvest, they are laid out to dry on raised beds, ensuring a pure and clean cup. This elevation, combined with the diligent processing method, optimizes the cherries' natural potential, contributing to the exceptional quality of the final coffee product.

Tasting Profile

The DR Congo Mukwinja coffee captivates with a balanced, spice-toned profile that is both rich and intricate. Its aroma and cup brim with the warmth of ginger snaps, complemented by the subtle sweetness of nectarine and the depth of cocoa nib. Jasmine and cherry wood notes add a delicate complexity. With a briskly sweet acidity and a smooth, lightly syrupy mouthfeel, the finish leaves a memorable, cocoa-toned impression, underscored by ginger snap nuances.
