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.

Groundstate Coffee Roasters describe this coffee as fruity. 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.

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

Altitude, lowest

…🇨🇩 Congo Coffee Ireland – Something from the Other Side Dimitri’s latest trip takes us to Kalungu in South Kivu, where coffee is grown high in the mountains at 1,484–2,000 MASL. part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Organic certification

“The coffee is produced by CAPCKI, a small organic co-operative of 380 farmers based along the road between Goma and Bukavu.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Species

“This is an area capable of producing exceptional Arabica coffee, but years of conflict and limited access to international markets made it extremely difficult for farmers to sell their coffee outside the country.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

“This fully washed Bourbon comes from the mountains of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Dimitri Croaker – Congo Espresso Coffee Blackberry Jammy Dimitri Croaker is a psychedelic little fella.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

“This fully washed Bourbon comes from the mountains of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Processing

“This fully washed Bourbon comes from the mountains of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It’s clean and juicy, with a big hit of ripe blackberry and a thick, jammy sweetness.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Producer

“The coffee is produced by CAPCKI, a small organic co-operative of 380 farmers based along the road between Goma and Bukavu.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Seasonal

“The co-operative supports its farming communities through permanent and seasonal employment, improvements to local roads and water infrastructure, and the distribution of coffee and shade-tree seedlings.” 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.
