This coffee was such a pleasant surprise!  Like Vietnam, D.R. Congo has long been known as a producer of Robusta coffee.  It currently accounts for approximately 80% of the coffee grown in the country.  Arabica coffees, like this one, are primarily grown in mountainous far eastern regions of the country around Lake Kivu. 

This is NOT last year's Congo!  Last year's crop had an incredible depth to it, even at lighter roast levels.  THIS year's crop is closer to what you'd expect from a natural processed African coffee.  Fruity. Bright acidity. Creamy.  My initial impression of it was Raspberry Cheesecake.  It's a fun, funky coffee that likely won't last very long.
