DR Congo Majirane is a limited Apex Series release from Majirane Coffee (SCOOP-CA) in Northwest Lake Kivu. Light roasted for clarity and sweetness, it leads with apricot and stone-fruit sweetness, pops with mandarin brightness, and lifts into a distinctive sweet tea character—then lingers with a juicy, velvety texture.
This lot earned its place in Apex as the highest-scoring coffee we tasted at the Congo cupping, and it went on to become Best of Congo 2025 (88.25). Majirane Coffee is a young cooperative founded in 2020 with 854 members—majority women—building quality and opportunity in an underrepresented origin.
