We are so excited to release Anthony Ragler, and Tyler Montague's competition coffee from USBC 2020. They used this coffee to take 6th and 20th respectively. This coffee represents so many things to us, innovation at the birthplace of coffee, empowering African producers, sharing knowledge, and a brighter future for coffee and coffee producing communities. 

This coffee comes to us from Unravel Coffee, a partnership between Steve Holt, and Ashenafi Agraw. Steve and Ashenafi worked together in a previous project with amazing results and have decided to double down on the potential of Ethiopian coffee and coffee producers. Taking fermentation knowledge from the wine making process they have created some amazing flavor profiles

For complex flavor development the fermentation temperature was set at temperatures between 10-12°C for 90 hours. This allows a specific bacteria called Lactobacillas to thrive and create amazing tropical flavors. Stainless steel containers are used for a clean and consistent taste profile. We inject carbon dioxide, which is a crucial step. With CO2 we slow down the breaking down of sugars from the mucilage dramatically, this ensures that no "over fermentation" flavors are in the finish cup.

This display attention to detail is groundbreaking, and we are so happy to share this special coffee with you.

KINIEZIE, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO

NOTES: FLORAL HONEY, DRIED APRICOT, SWEET CITRUS

The Democratic Republic of Congo, with its high elevation and great rainfall, produces some of the best coffee in Africa. The civil unrest that has destabilized security for larger coffee estate investment along with the lack of infrastructure has accelerated the rise of small holder farms along the eastern edge of the country. 

Founded in 2009, Muungano coop is comprised of around 4,400 smallholder farmers, nearly half of them women and is located in the town of Kiniezire, along the western shore of Lake Kivu three hours south of Goma. Gender justice is a principal focus of the members, as is integrating farmers from different ethnic groups into the operation. The word “Muungano” actually means “Togetherness” in the Swahili language. 

We are very fortunate to have this coffee for it is one of the first coffees from this region to ever arrive in North America and one of the oldest Bourbon varieties in Africa. This coffee is an amazing intro to African coffees, intense sweetness and underlying fruit flavors. We enjoyed the floral notes and honey like sweetness through out the cup and we think you will too.
