Marjirane, South Kivu
This is the #1 award-winning lot from the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s “Best of Congo” Auction in September of 2025 by the MAJIRANE COFFEE/COOP-CA.
Our light roast results in a complex cup with notes of crisp mandarin, hibiscus, and dark plum with a syrupy mouthfeel.
MAJIRANE COFFEE/COOP-CA was founded in 2020 by six women from Kalehe Territory in South Kivu Province. Today, it provides permanent employment to seven women and seasonal employment to more than 150 women and men.
