This limited offering was sourced by our friends at Mighty Peace Coffee:

"The farmers who produce Fadhili—Swahili for 'kindness'—formed a cooperative in 2013, in order to fight against increased poverty and ensure the well-being of the population in the rural areas of South Kivu. The cooperative aims to provide technical assistance, mentorship and impart knowledge on future generations so coffee can continue to be a catalyst of job creation for the community over the long term."

This fully washed lot undergoes a two-stage fermentation (12 hours dry, 24 hours wet) and is then dried to 10-12% moisture on raised beds, which can take from 12 to 21 days depending on weather conditions.

A Farmer’s Story:

"Heri Nyongolo is a teacher at the Murambi primary school and a coffee producer. Learning about coffee and launching his small business allowed him to diversify his income. Mr. Heri is grateful for what coffee has brought to his life. His children go to school and he no longer struggles to pay their tuition. This income enables him to invest into his children’s future."
