Origin & Processing
The Kivu region, situated along the shores of Lake Kivu, provides an ideal climate for high-quality coffee production. The mineral-rich volcanic soil, ample rainfall, and cool mountain air contribute to the coffee’s lively acidity and complex flavor profile.
Kivu Blossom is washed (wet) processed, ensuring clarity and brightness in every cup. The handpicked cherries are carefully sorted, fermented, washed, and sun-dried on raised beds, allowing the natural sweetness and vibrant fruit notes to shine through.
