Charlotte's DRC
Spreading the peace movement
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is often overlooked for having a vibrant, quality coffee export industry. Decades of conflict and mining trades have overshadowed the global narrative, and disrupted livelihoods and stability of local communities. The DRC’s rich specialty coffee traditions has persevered, and the team at Mighty Peace Coffee is determined to amplify this great product to the world.
Might Peace Coffee is a non-profit importer with a mission to bring the best green coffee from the DRC to the global market. Farmers spread throughout various cooperatives across the region, including women’s groups, spreading new economic opportunities to the region. The revenue from selling their coffee is allowing farmers to send their children to school, expand their farms, invest in livestock, and more while also investing in their local communities.
Brew Recipe
This dark roast offers good body for a rich cup. Try espresso-like brewes and pair with your favorite milk! We like the Aeropress for a strong cup at home.
RATIO : 1:18
BREWER : Aeropress
GRIND : Medium-fine
WATER TEMP : 210 F
1: Grind the coffee once the water is heated up. We like to invert the cylinder so the filter is on the top(added last) so plunger is at the bottom, holding the cylinder up. Add coffee grounds.
2. Wet the grounds to let them bloom with about 50g of water. This allows the initial release of CO2. Bloom for about 30-40 seconds.
3. Add the rest of the water and let brew about 1 minute.
4. Secure filter and flipping over to set atop your desired cup. Press the plunger to extract the water through the filter into your cup. Add your steamed milk of choice! Feel free to play around with added flavoring as well, this coffee can hold its own - enjoy!
