The Roastmaster Series

A rotating monthly coffee subscription designed to bring you a vibrant, and ever-changing coffee experience. Each month, our team intentionally sources and small batch roasts a new coffee to highlight its unique characteristics. This subscription will contain single origins only, and offer a variety of different country of origin, process, and flavor notes.

If you want to try interesting coffees each month, this is the subscription for you. 

This subscription will always recur on the 1st of the month.

If you order multiple bags per delivery, each bag for that delivery will be the same coffee listed below.

May 2025 Coffee: Congo Kivu

Flavor Notes: Peach, Brown sugar

We roast this coffee to a medium roast level to develop its syrupy body and bright acidity.

This coffee comes from the Mukwinja washing station in South Kivu. This washing station has improved livelihoods of the 699 smallholder farmers in the region by helping to resolve the issues of the region as being characterized by very small farm sizes, lack of infrastructure for coffee processing and lack of access to high-quality markets. The washing station provides technical assistance to coffee farmers on regenerative agriculture practices, as well as access to coffee inputs, namely high-quality coffee seedlings to increase farming productivity, and thus profitability.

Commercial production of green coffee did not begin in Congo in any meaningful way until the end of the nineteenth century when a well-known botanist, professor Lament, toured the country and declared it so suitable for growing coffee that it could become a “second Brazil." By 1905, half a million coffee plants were under cultivation and exports reached 41 tons.
