Located at the borders of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, the Kivu area is home to coffees with stunning cup profiles. While the area is subject to on-going conflicts, a cooperation between coffee farmers, Farm Africa and the Virunga National Park is encouraging peace through the growing of specialty coffee.

COFFEE TIPS & FACTS
Coffee remains fresh only about 21 days after it has been roasted. The coffee then starts to become stale and loose its great flavor. Be sure to buy fresh roasted coffee in small enough quantities so you can use it up during the freshness period. We roast our coffee on demand per order. We invite you to come watch your coffee being roasted.
To get the best flavor from your coffee beans, use one tablespoon of coffee per cup of water. Using too little coffee will result in over extracting the coffee and you will have a bitter cup. If the coffee tastes too strong, then add some hot water to your cup.
Store coffee in the whole bean form and grind when you are ready to brew it. Never store your coffee in the refrigerator because it will pick up off flavors. Long term storage can be done in the freezer.
Grind your coffee as fine as your coffee filters will let you. This gives you maximum flavors from your coffee. Using a burr grinder will give a better grind than a blade type.
Keep your brewing equipment clean and always use fresh, good quality water. Use unbleached coffee filters or gold coffee baskets.
Smell the coffee and pick up on all the wonderful hidden aromas. When tasting a new coffee, let it cool a little, then when you get it in your mouth, "chew" it. Think about how it feels in your mouth. Let it cool even more and taste it again and you find even more flavors.
