REVIVING ORIGINS is our long-term program through which we partner with farmers to bring back some of the great coffees we almost lost. The rain-rich volcanic soils along the Kivu lakeshores of Eastern Congo are ideal Arabica terroir. Years of continued conflict and political instability leave many plantations abandoned and smallholder farmers tapping only a small fraction of the Congo’s potential for specialty coffee. Nespresso’s REVIVING ORIGINS program joins together with the South Kivu farmers and partners to support coffee communities in raising Congo coffee to its full stature. REVIVING ORIGINS Congo is still a scarce treasure to behold. But each year, we’ll bring you more of this smooth coffee with its mild fruity note and alluring sweet cereal and nutty aromas.
