More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Congo
Bean Source Region: Kivu
The Kivu Lake coffee growing region, located along the picturesque shores of Lake Kivu in the African Great Rift Valley, straddles the borders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. This area is renowned for its rich volcanic soil, high altitude, and ideal climate, which create the perfect environment for cultivating premium coffee beans. The region's Arabica coffee plants, grown at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 meters above sea level, benefit from the perfect combination of warm days and cool nights, allowing the coffee cherries to develop slowly and enhancing the beans' flavor profiles. The coffee from the Kivu Lake region is cherished by connoisseurs worldwide for its exceptional taste, characterized by bright acidity, complex fruity notes, and a distinctively velvety mouthfeel.
