How it sits among coffee from Congo

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Congo: 30 of 45 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Solas Coffee Roasters describe this coffee as fruity, citrus. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Congo; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Congo, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

What the roaster says about where it came from

Country
Congo
Region
Nyamasheke, Kivu
Process
natural
Variety
Red Bourbon
Not stated
farm or estate, producer, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Country of origin

“This is due to the consistent wind flow that moves between two steep hills that lead towards Lake Kivu, Idjwi Island and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

“Gisheke is located in Nyamasheke District, and overlooks Lake Kivu.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Processing

“Gisheke’s geographic location makes it ideal for the processing and drying of naturally processed lots.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 3 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
