Coffee from Congo's Ile Idjwi Island

Congo

Discover the unique taste of Congo Kivu, a captivating world of coffee from Congo, the second largest country in Africa and the largest in sub-Saharan Africa. Congo is renowned for its rich history and culture, with one of its most notable figures being Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of independent Congo, who fought for sovereignty and unity of the country. In Congo, it's worth visiting the Boyoma Waterfall, the largest waterfall on the Congo river and one of the major tourist spots in the country. The coffee culture in Congo is based on social tradition and bean quality, with residents particularly valuing arabica, which holds cultural and social importance for them.

In Congo, the Yemeni variant of Bourbon called La Réunion is cultivated. Coffee plantations are primarily located on the plateau around Lake Kivu, where thousands of small farming households have access to ideal cultivation conditions.

Unique Region of Congo

Lake Kivu, one of the great lakes of Africa, is a key coffee cultivation region in Congo. The altitude at which coffee is grown is about 1500 meters above sea level. Coffees from this region are known for their mild, slightly citrus-spicy taste with hints of fruits and cocoa. The coffee beans are washed and sun-dried, contributing to their unique taste.

Unique Taste of Congo Kivu Plantations on the Island

In the heart of Congo, on Ile Idjwi Island in Lake Kivu, lies a place where coffee is cultivated with love and care. The coffee from this region comes from farmers grouped in cooperatives, which not only take care of the coffee purchasing and processing process, but also focus on farmer education and continuous coffee quality improvement. The coffee from Ile Idjwi Island is arabica, Yemeni variant of Bourbon called La Réunion here, cultivated at an altitude of about 1,500 meters above sea level. Coffee beans are handpicked and then subjected to a washing and sun-drying process, which further enhances their unique taste.

Taste Notes of Coffee

Freshly roasted Congo Kivu coffee is characterized by a mild, slightly citrus-spicy taste with hints of fruits and cocoa. It's similar to Kenyan coffee, yet its gentleness and balance make it an excellent alternative for those seeking a coffee with a subtler taste. If you are starting your adventure with coffee straight from the roastery, we recommend a medium roast level, which ensures the best balance between acidity and sweetness.

What to Consider When Ordering Coffee?

When ordering coffee, it's worth paying attention to the quantity - it's best to order coffee for a maximum of 2 weeks and in packaging that allows you to pour the entire content into the container in your bean-to-cup coffee machine or into the container where you store coffee. As for the roasting level, for those starting their adventure with freshly roasted coffee, we recommend a medium roast. When it comes to grinding, it's best to grind coffee right before preparation, but if you don't have a grinder, choose your preparation method from the icons.

How to Brew the Perfect Congo Kivu Coffee?

The unique taste of Congo Kivu depends on the chosen brewing method. Here are some tips to help you get the best taste of coffee:

  1. Carefully measure the proportions - we recommend using 60 g of coffee per 1 liter of water. For smaller quantities, use a ratio of 6 g of coffee per 100 ml of water.
  2. Use freshly boiled water at a temperature of 90-95°C. Avoid boiling water right before pouring it over the coffee to prevent burning the coffee.
  3. If you use a drip coffee maker or drip method, pour the water slowly, evenly moistening the coffee. After pouring the first portion of water, wait 30-45 seconds for the coffee to soak up the water, then continue the brewing process.
  4. For espresso machines, we recommend using finely ground coffee, tightly packed in the coffee container. This will make the extraction time between 25 to 30 seconds.
  5. For alternative methods like AeroPress or Chemex, experiment with the coffee grinding and brewing time to achieve the best taste.

It's worth noting that Congo Kivu coffee also tastes excellent cold, served as cold brew. In this case, we recommend using coarsely ground coffee, which will be brewed for about 12-24 hours at room temperature. Then the coffee should be filtered through a paper or fabric filter to get rid of the sediment. The obtained brew can be served with ice, with added milk or flavor syrups.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • What is fresh-roasted coffee?

    A coffee is considered freshly roasted when a minimum of 24 hours from the roasting date has elapsed but no more than 14 days. Coffee after roasting needs 24 hours to rest-decompress, after 14 days from the date of roasting there is a loss of nearly 20% of aroma intensity as well as flavor.

  • Taste notes what is it?

    It is the natural taste of coffee, obtained only by roasting coffee without any artificial additives or preservatives. The richness of coffee is precisely in the variety of coffee flavors coming from different regions of the world.

  • Which coffee roasting to choose?

    If you prepare coffee with alternative methods (AeroPress, Drip, dripper, V60, Chemex...) be sure to try coffee in light roast.

    If you are preparing coffee in a pressurized, pour-over or coffee maker, try coffee in medium roast; it is the most versatile coffee roast.

    If you are preparing coffee in a pot, try a dark roast.

    Coffee roasted light contains more caffeine than coffee roasted medium or dark. There are usually more noticeable notes of citrus, flowers.

    If you're just getting started with fresh-roasted coffees or this particular coffee, it's best to try it in a medium roast for the first time. The medium roast is the most balanced roast between citrus acidity and pronounced chocolate, cocoa.

    Dark roast, often associated with Italian roasting, is the exposure of cocoa, dark chocolate notes in coffee; less noticeable are fruit, floral notes. Dark-roasted coffee contains the least caffeine of all 3 roasts.

  • Which coffee roast has the most caffeine?

    The amount of caffeine in coffee depends not only on the roasting method, but also on the type of coffee and how it is prepared. However, it is generally believed that light-roasted coffee contains slightly more caffeine than dark-roasted coffee.

    Light-roasted coffee retains most of the natural flavors and aromas of the coffee bean, but has more oils and phenolic compounds, which are removed during further roasting. Therefore, in light-roasted coffee, caffeine remains in greater amounts.

  • What is dark coffee roasting?

    Dark roasting is the process of roasting coffee beans, which leads to a very dark color and intense flavor. Coffee beans are roasted for a longer time and at a higher temperature than in light or medium roasting.

    During dark roasting, the sugars in the coffee beans are caramelized and the acidity of the beans is almost completely removed. As a result, dark roast coffee has an intense, bitter flavor with notes of chocolate, caramel and nuts.

    Dark roast coffee is popular in some regions, such as Italy, where dark roast espresso is often preferred. However, due to its intense taste and lack of subtle flavors, it is not the preferred roasting method for some coffee lovers.

  • What is a medium coffee roast?

    Medium roasting (American, City Roast Medium, Regular Roast, City Roast, Breakfast Roast)is a coffee bean roasting process that lies between light and dark roasting. During medium roasting, the beans are roasted for about 10-15 minutes at a moderate temperature.

    During this process, the sugars in the coffee beans begin to caramelize, which gives the coffee a sweet taste, and the acidity of the beans is gently reduced. The beans gain more complex aromas, including nutty, floral and fruity notes.

    Medium roast coffee is the most commonly preferred coffee roast by coffee lovers, as it preserves the subtle flavors of the beans while adding some sweetness and fullness of flavor. Medium-roast coffee is also popular in many cafes and restaurants because it has a balanced flavor and aroma that is enjoyed by a wide range of consumers.

  • What is a light coffee roast?

    Light roasting (Cinnamon, New England, Light Roast, Light City, Half City) is a process of roasting coffee beans that leads to a light color and delicate flavor. During light roasting, the beans are subjected to a short roasting process (about 5-7 minutes) at a relatively low temperature. During this process, the sugars in the coffee beans begin to caramelize, but not as intensely as in dark roasting. Coffee from light roasting has a pronounced acidity and delicate, fruity and floral aromas. Light roast coffees are often preferred by coffee lovers who appreciate subtle, complex flavors and aromas. Such coffees are especially popular in Scandinavian countries, where light-roasted coffee is treated like a luxury product and is drunk in smaller quantities, but with better quality. However, due to its sour taste and mildness, light-roasted coffee is not liked by all coffee lovers. Light roast coffee is popular among lovers of alternative coffee preparation.

  • How much coffee to buy in a coffee roaster's store?

    The amount of coffee you should buy from a coffee roaster depends on your personal preferences and needs.

    If you drink coffee every day and like freshly roasted coffee, it's a good idea to buy enough to stock up for 2 weeks. It is recommended that you buy enough to avoid losing freshness.

    One way to determine the right amount of coffee to buy is to calculate the average amount of coffee consumed per day or per week. Based on this information, you can determine how much coffee beans you need to buy from a roaster to stock up for the right amount of time.

    If you are using a pressurized coffee maker with a grinder to prepare your coffee, it is a good idea to buy such a package of coffee (75g.,250g.,500g.,1,000g.) so that you can pour all the coffee into the bean container.

    It is also worth considering your taste preferences and choosing the coffee that best suits your tastes. The Sochaccy.co store offers 75g coffee samples for purchase, allowing you to try different flavors and choose your favorite type.

    Ultimately, the amount of coffee you should buy from the roaster depends on your individual preferences and needs, but it's worth buying enough to avoid constantly going to the store for fresh coffee.

  • Which coffee is better to buy - bean or ground?

    The decision between bean and ground coffee depends on several factors.

    First, bean coffee usually has a longer shelf life than ground coffee because the coffee beans retain their freshness and aroma longer. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the freshest coffee, it is best to buy coffee beans and grind them just before brewing.

    Secondly, ground coffee is more convenient and faster to prepare because it does not require grinding before brewing. Therefore, if you don't have time to grind coffee before each brewing, ground coffee may be more suitable for you.

    Third, ground coffee offers more control over the brewing process and allows you to adjust the grind thickness to suit your taste preferences. With ground coffee, the grind thickness has already been determined, which can affect the taste of the coffee.

    In conclusion, the decision between bean and ground coffee depends on your individual preferences and needs. If you want freshness and control over the brewing process, it's better to choose bean coffee and grind it just before brewing. However, if you are looking for convenience and speed, ground coffee may be more suitable for you.

  • How to store coffee beans?

    Store in a cool, dark and dry place, vacuum sealed if possible. Oils in roasted coffee degrade when exposed to air (oxidation) and heat. As with other foods, moisture accelerates the deterioration of coffee. Store coffee in fully sealed, insulated, opaque containers. If you have the option, vacuum pump the air out of the container for maximum storage stability. Following these tips should help keep your beans fresh and flavorful for as long as possible.
