Café Kivu

To see Eastern Congo develop through the use of its own natural resources while promoting a system of “conscious capitalism”.

To create a culture of roasting and consuming coffee while using excellent local products in order to enrich the local economy.

To encourage collaborative networks that ensure the quality and ethical practices of coffee production from bean to cup.

Café Kivu began with a simple idea: to bring the rich flavors of Congolese coffee to the world while supporting the very farmers who grow it. Our journey started when we discovered the incredible quality of coffee grown in the lush hills of Congo. We saw potential and a chance to make a difference. By partnering with local farmers and co-ops, we ensure they receive fair pay for their hard work. Each cup we serve is a tribute to their dedication and passion. Together, we are transforming lives and creating unforgettable experiences, one delicious sip at a time. Join us as we share this incredible journey with you!

The Chukudu featured on our logo holds deep meaning here in Congo. Yes, it’s a means of transporting goods, but it’s also a rich symbol of ingenuity and determination for the local people in a region with limited opportunities. At Café Kivu, we are driven by a deep respect for our farmers, a passion for quality coffee, and a commitment to community.

We believe in fair trade practices that empower local growers, ensuring they thrive and their families prosper. Sustainability is at our core; we work to protect our environment while producing exceptional coffee. Our focus on quality means every cup you enjoy is crafted with care and expertise. By choosing Café Kivu, you support a brighter future for Congolese farmers and help us spread the love for coffee that connects us all.
