Overview

Discover an outstanding Congolese coffee which earned 93 points from Coffee Review in 2021. The Muungano Cooperative takes their name from the word for “togetherness” in Swahili, and with nearly half of their members being women, gender justice is a big focus. The cooperative provides agricultural support and helps farmers transport their cherries from remote regions with unstable dirt roads, encouraging economic growth and showcasing the unique flavors of Congolese coffee. This washed Bourbon lot has a creamy, silky body and a juicy grape-like acidity. We tasted cocoa, brown sugar, dried apricot, tangerine, and buttery pastry.

Fellow's Unique Selection Process

Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn’t want to do it. For exclusive weekly coffee suggestions from our panel, join Fellow Drops!
