Congo: the coffee world’s best kept secret

These Congolese cooperatives sit on the shores of Lake Kivu to the slopes of the Rwenzori mountains, where volcanic soils, high elevation, and equatorial rainfall create the conditions for exceptional coffee. BOCC26 gives importers and roasters direct access to fully traceable, high-scoring lots across a range of processing methods including fully washed, natural, anaerobic and coffees produced by women farmers. Every purchase puts meaningful value back into the hands of the communities who grew it.
