Process: Natural
Altitude: 1500m - 1800 m.a.s.l
Taste Notes: Blueberry, Lemon, Treacle

Best Brewed: Filter drinks or a lighter espresso

Roaster Notes: This coffee is aimed at those who prefer a lighter coffee - enjoying the characters of a natural process without the boozy funky notes that are typical with this process.

As a filter you get a hint of lemon, sweet and floral blueberry and an underlying treacle mouthfeel. As an espresso, it is a much lighter flavour of mainly lemon and treacle sweetness.

Mutendero Coffee Washing Station (CWS) is one of 9 washing stations belonging to Virunga Coffee Company, setup by Schluter (now Covoya) in 2012 to produce high quality coffees for the specialty market and increase premiums for the thousands of smallholder farmers in the region. The strategy for Virunga has been three-fold: 1) To increase production through good agronomic practice 2) to improve quality through education and strict guidelines for production and processing 3) to obtain internationally recognised certification in order to generate better revenue for farmers.

Virunga now have now trained over 11,000 famers in GAP (Good agricultural practices) and have partnered them in Organic and Rainforest Alliance certification. They have 40 field officers (trained agronomists) working in the region and distribute over 3 million seedlings a year to farmers in Eastern DRC.
