Fabula’s “Sip of the Month” is a different and exclusive offering coming out every 4 weeks. It is a wonderful way for our fellow coffee-fans to try a different region, bean or roast. 

“Fabula” means story. We believe every bean has a story to tell, connected to the regions, history, environments, and their farmers.

This coffee from Katana in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a softer version of what most would expect from natural (or dry) processed coffees.  Some naturals (meaning the full cherry is intact during the drying of the seed in the middle that we call a coffee “bean”) can be fruit bombs on the palate that are a little too high-toned. Unlike lots from more Easterly African nations, this selection from Democratic Republic of the Congo is mellow and rounded with softer sensations.

 This organic lot is from the Katana station in South Kivu, which produces specialty coffees to improve livelihoods  for smallholder farmers in the region.  The Katana area is blessed with abundant rainfall, and the excess water supply ensures ample irrigation for small-holder farmers. 

Situated at an elevation of 1693 masl, the coffee in this region benefits from altitude, volcanic soils, and proximity to the equator, all contributing factors in its excellent quality. The station processes natural and honey coffee on shaded, raised beds. 

Although commercial production of green coffee did not begin in Congo in any meaningful way until the end of the nineteenth century, Robusta has been known to grow wild throughout the region for so long that 100 years ago Robusta was sometimes called “Congo coffee” regardless of where it was grown. In 1895, a well-known botanist, professor Lament, toured the country and declared it so suitable for growing coffee that it could become a “second Brazil," and Arabica plantings increased dramatically. 

In recent years, Arabica from the highland areas has begun to attract attention from specialty coffee roasters. With development commitments from large roasters and quality development assistance from coffee traders, DR Congo is now on the specialty coffee map. Washing stations have appeared in every growing region over the last five years and the country has hosted cupping events.

We at Fabula are proud to offer this delicious cup, so we can all sip some of the best coffee from Africa!

Always Fresh. Always Fabulicious.

Where our coffee comes from is important. We proudly provide the very highest grade, single-origin coffee beans in the world. You can taste its origin, intricate and complex characteristics, just like in the world of fine wines.

Finding great coffees is like a hunting for treasures. The best coffees come from remote areas, grown deep inside the jungle, at high altitudes. There often is no infrastructure. No paved roads. There are mudslides. Heavy rainfalls... But the coffee... oh, it is worth it.

At Fabula, we do not mess with perfection.
