New coffee arrival from Eastern DR Congo 🇨🇩
7.6 tons of green coffee from Idjwi Island have just arrived at our warehouse, produced by our long term partners SCPNCK.
When cumpa co founder Daniel visited the island in 2021, the situation was already difficult. Known as the “Peace Island,” Idjwi became a refuge for people fleeing violence in the Kivu region. Since then, the situation has worsened dramatically. Large parts of Eastern Congo are now under the control of the armed M23 group, backed by Rwanda according to UN reports, causing further displacement, instability, and violence for communities that have already endured more than two decades of conflict. The Ebola outbreak in the region has added another layer to the humanitarian crisis.
Coffee continues to grow there.
This shipment includes two washed Bourbon lots, one produced by the women’s cooperative on the island, and one natural lot. Rich, juicy, vibrant coffees that reached Europe through enormous collective effort.
Coffee from Idjwi tells a story of resilience, dignity, and hope from one of the most challenging places on earth.
