À propos du café

We are excited to present this exceptional speciality-grade single-origin fine Robusta. This is our second African coffee, coming from the Gakenke region of Rwanda. Forget everything you know about Robusta and let yourself indulge in its remarkable sweetness and bold character. Thanks to its Omni style, you can use it to make a unique espresso or a strong pour-over with an extra kick of caffeine.

Le Terroir

Mr. Kong is a specialty Robusta coffee produced by the Kabila cooperative in the Gakenke district of northern Rwanda. The coffee plants grow at altitudes between 1600 and 2000 meters, in exceptional conditions.

After harvest, the cherries are sorted by flotation, then depulped. They ferment for 12 hours before being washed. After that, they are dried on raised beds for 15 days, shaded from the sun. Unusually for a Robusta, this coffee is processed as whole beans for professional use.

Robusta is the common name for coffee trees of the Coffea Canephora species. In fact, Robusta is a variety of Coffea Canephora. It exists in different forms and varieties in the wild. Specifically, Mr. Kong is of the Nganda variety.
