Kivu Lake is our favorite

This is one of the best coffees I’ve ever had, it’s sweet nutty, balanced and flavorful. The smell of the beans is as exquisite as the shot

The perfume of the ground coffee is in itself a marvelous herald of the morning and the satisfying flavor of the coffee portends a wonderful day.

Excellent coffee

Exceeded my expectations. Enough body to enjoy without cream, but combines flavor profile well with cream, too.

Kivu Lake is a great coffee

I am enjoying a cup of Kivu Lake this moment and it is one of the great coffees. I prefer African coffee and this one hits the mark very well.
