DR CONGO SOPADE - BEST OF CONGO

Sopade was formed in 2017 by a group of smallholder farmers with previous experience in larger cooperatives. Their aim was to build a new model for Congolose coffee cooperatives rooted in equity, transparency, and community ownership. Today they have 818 members, 207 of whom are women, and their network spans over half a million individual trees.

This specific lot was selected as one of the winning coffees at this year’s inaugural Best of Congo competition – an initiative created by Assembly, Keynote Coffee and local Congolose coffee cooperative leaders (including Sopade’s Mike Mobali Kaboyi) to share their exceptionally high-quality coffees with a global audience.
