This region of the Democratic Republic of Congo surrounds Lake Kivu and borders Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi. Located directly on the equator, Kivu is one of the most diverse places in terms of altitude, flora and climate. Most of the region’s terrain would be considered tropical savanna, but the high elevations of the Virunga Mountains are temperate, rainy, and volcanic enough to create an ideal climate for high-quality coffee production.

The washed method is typical of these areas. Typically, hand-picked cherries are delivered to the washing station on the same day as harvesting. There it will be stripped and fermented in open tanks for 12 to 18 hours. Often the fermented coffee is then left to soak for another 8-12 hours before being passed through washing channels, where the mucilage is removed and the coffee is sorted and then dried for an average of 20-30 days.
