Rise Up Blend

We source this coffee from a female cooperative, Rebuild Women's Hope, on Idjwi Island in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Founded by Marceline Budza in 2013, this cooperative empowers women by using coffee production as a means of socio-economic development, contributing to education, healthcare and economic growth for 15,056 women. 

The blend also features coffee from Fazenda Mio, our Brazilian coffee partner that funds an exciting agroforestry research project.

The intensity of this dark roasted coffee shines through when drunk as an espresso or add milk to really highlight its creamy texture.
