From the Roaster: This coffee is delivered from more than 3,500 women smallholder farmer members of SOPACDI who live in the Kalehe territory of D.R. Congo's South Kivu province. The average farm size of these women is 0.7 hectares, and they grow Bourbon and other varieties of coffee in sandy clay loam soil. The women deliver their coffee in cherry form and it is processed at the mill: First it is depulped and fermented for 12 hours in tanks, then it is washed and sorted in water channels before being placed underwater and fermented again for another 12 hours. It's dried on raised beds under a shade cover of netting; the drying process takes 16–25 days on average.

I have been a subscriber since their launch, having been introduced to Better Grounds at a coffee festival. I have enjoyed every monthly selection so far! Their service is a great choice for anyone who, like me, wants easier access great quality coffee and anyone who might feel overwhelmed trying to look into the sourcing bonafides of different brands. I appreciate that they do this work for their clients, and also support different roasters who are doing good work.
