Kivu, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo's mountainous region near Lake Kivu, is a region characterised by lush vegetation and fertile, volcanic soil that is ideal for the production of fine Arabica coffee beans. Coffee plantations in the Kivu region, which lies at the high point of the East African Rift Valley, also benefit from mild temperatures of 66 degrees F on average and high altitudes that extend the growing seasons, allowing beans to mature and ripen to their fullest before being harvested. Our mild Kivu coffee has a distinct and complex fruity flavour that lingers on the tongue, and unique aromas that you won't find in any other beans, and it is ideal for filter or cafetiere use when preparing all your favourite drinks.
