The Forward Element Coffee

30 lbs exists. Members only. When the last bag ships, this page goes dark. Smallholder Bourbon from Kahondo Station in the Isale region of North Kivu, D.R. Congo — one of nine washing stations run by Virunga Coffee Company on the edge of Virunga National Park. Grown between 1,500 and 1,900 masl, natural processed: dried whole cherry on raised beds for 12 to 15 days. ROAST: Medium THE CUP: Concord grape and blackberry jam over milk chocolate — syrupy, medium-full body with soft, round acidity. A juicy, fruit-forward natural with a real chocolate backbone, not a blown-out ferment. SOURCING: Green lot listed as organic and Rainforest Alliance certified. Certifications apply to the green lot per the importer's listing; our finished roasted coffee is not certified organic. Roasted to order, rested, and shipped. No restock. No public release. Sold on Self Rez Coffee Company (https://selfrezcoffee.com/products/the-forward-element-coffee). The price shown is the retail price on that storefront on 2026-10-24, not a GreenB2B quote or a wholesale price.
