Passenger Mapendo
Lime and dark cherry on the nose introduce a sweet and satisfying Kivu profile with plum and caramel flavors that are pleasantly balanced by a cocoa and black tea finish. This beautiful Reserve Lot is Passenger’s first selection from DR Congo and our first purchase from Mighty Peace Coffee. Around 4200 farmers from the Kalehe territory of South Kivu province contributed to this Mapendo lot, an SL34 variety separation composed of cherries picked at 1800 masl or higher.
