Karango Micro Station - DR Congo

Our first coffee from Democratic Republic of the Congo!

Karango micro–washing station serves 89 smallholder farmers (including 18 women) from Karango village. Each of the farmer members owns an average of 1.7 hectares of land. The farmers deliver their coffee in cherry form to the washing station, where it is fermented twice: First it is depulped and fermented dry, then it is fermented underwater after the washing and grading has been done. The coffee is dried on raised beds with shade covers made of net. The drying process takes 20–25 days.

This coffee was imported by Cafe Imports.
