Peace Trade Coffee: Female Farmers of the Democratic Republic of Congo

Congolese farmers are full of vibrant optimism and hope for change. The purchase of this coffee positively impacts the lives of children, women, and men who are dreaming of independence, freedom, and peace. It also directly stimulates economic activity, raising the living standards of hardworking farmers, while ending the cycle of poverty, conflict, and injustice.

Each farmer has their own individual story. Take for example Victorina, pictured here. Victorina is one of the farmers who contributes to this beautiful green coffee production. With the sales from her farm, she has been able to build a home, purchase clothes for her family, and pay for her children’s school fees. Furthermore, she is given a level of security since she doesn’t need to travel to find a buyer, which eliminates risk of attack during travel.

Our Peace Trade Congolese Microlot Coffee is delicious when brewed in just about every method, but truly shines when brewed using a pour over or Chemex. You'll experience delicate and crisp notes of Lemon, Orange and Cantaloupe with rich and savory notes of Dark Chocolate from the very first sip. Truly a specialty coffee experience you won't want to miss.  

Overall, you can’t go wrong with your direct impact when purchasing this coffee. Not only does your purchase help the beautiful farmers in the Congo, but just like every other purchase from Grounds & Hounds, 20% of the profits go toward rescue initiatives for pups in need.
