DR of Congo - Katana

Next roast date: 20h of January. Next shipping date: 22nd of January.

The espresso roast of the Congolese coffee. Roasted a bit darker and thus being less acidic and fruity. Congo is very underrated in the specialty coffee scene. After having tasted this wonderful and high quality (87.25 points out of 100), I knew I had stumbled onto a small treasure!

The coffee is grown in the village of Katana by small family owned producers. It is processed by the COOP RAEK, who ensuresfair wages and working conditions for the farmers. Another big point for RAEK is reforestation as well as solely using organic fertilizers (they are organic certified).

The coffee has wonderful floral notes, very mild and fruity. A coffee for people who enjoy the more fruity and acidic flavors, coffee has to offer. I roast it super lightly which even more brings out the natural acidity in the bean.
