Character and Taste
Kivu 3 has a creamy body with a clean, fruity acidity. This excellent coffee is enhanced by a delicate lemon note and chocolatey-sweet undertones in the finish.
Particularities
Many different varieties of coffee are grown in the DR Congo. Robusta is the most commonly planted variety, mainly in the north-west of the country in the Isiro region and the lowlands of Ubangi, Uele and Kasai.
