Huckleberry Roasters

Congo Tuinuwane

From Cooperative Agricole Tuinuwane, a group of 578 farmers on Lake Kivu's southwest shore in Eastern Congo, this washed coffee placed 5th in the Best of Congo Cooperatives competition but impressed the roasters enough to rank as their second favorite. The washed process emphasizes clarity and brightness, revealing a syrupy, sweet body with notes of dates and brown sugar balanced against pleasantly-tart red currant and bright pink grapefruit. Sourcing from Congo during ongoing regional instability makes this coffee a testament to producer resilience; roasting it signals commitment to supporting quality Congolese coffee long-term.
