About DRC Coffee
Coffee grows across most of the DRC, though only three regions see the cultivation of Arabica - North Kivu, South Kivu and Ituri, all located to the east of the country.
The Congo Basin is the origin of many Robusta varieties cultivated across the world. In the late 1800s, a horticulturist shipped seeds from wild Robusta plants found in the DRC to Belgium, which were subsequently grown in plant nurseries and crossed with other Robusta lineages around the world.
Arabica varietals, particularly Bourbon, were also introduced into the country by Europeans and have a history of growing in the Eastern region of the DRC.

Coffee that gives back
