Mapendo

Mapendo's coffee comes from the South Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, with farm elevations spanning from 1480 to 2000 meters. This geographic range places the production in high altitude terrain suited for slow maturation of coffee cherries. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog is focused on the SL34 cultivar, which appears across the indexed lots. In terms of processing methods, the catalog records a total focus on the washed process for Mapendo coffees. This treatment style is applied consistently across the available offerings. The catalog footprint for Mapendo includes representation from 1 roaster, specifically Sey Coffee, which carries the indexed lots. The recorded harvest data yields a total of 2 coffees in the index, with an average Cherrybook Index across these lots of 65.3. There are currently no lots in stock. Recent catalog examples feature offerings such as Mapendo Buchiro and Chebumba, alongside Mapendo 1800 Buchiro and Chebumba, both roasted by Sey Coffee and prepared via the washed process using SL34 varietals. Overall, Mapendo's presence in the catalog is defined by a focused selection of washed SL34 lots originating from South Kivu and featured by a single specialty roaster.
