About the SCA Coffee Value AssessmentThe Story
The origin
Our Zaire coffee comes from the Lake Kivu region and brings a full, syrupy character to the range.
In the cup
Our medium-roast profile brings black cherry, cocoa and brown sugar. Lighter roasting emphasises red berry and grape; darker roasting deepens the chocolate and blackcurrant character.
Roasted in Lusaka
We roast after you order and dispatch within 48 hours. See the specification for the sourcing and processing information recorded for the current coffee.
