Sopade, DR Congo - Assembly Coffee
This coffee was selected by Assembly at their Best of Congo competition, a new project designed to give a platform to Congolese coffee and its producers. We can see why it was a winner: a really luxurious cup full of maple sweetness, and a dense body that’s lifted by some cranberry brightness.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has been producing high quality specialty coffee in recent years, which still struggles to reach a market due to the endemic challenges at origin.
Founded in 2017, Sopade has helped to build a new model for Congolose coffee cooperatives with its strength-in-numbers approach to equity and community ownership. Today they have 818 members in South Kivu, a quarter of whom are women, who produce certified organic, specialty coffee. Sopade offers a washing station, storage warehouse and provides transport from farm to Dutu station and on to export.
Assembly Coffee’s origin story is a really interesting one. The roastery came about when a small team from Volcano Coffee Works, a well-regarded and established specialty coffee roastery based in South London sought to define how a roastery could best serve its purpose within the specialty coffee supply chain.
Assembly's vision became clear in 2015, founding a dynamic new roastery in Brixton that sourced only the highest quality specialty coffees and could adapt with the industry, prioritising customer needs by adopting a data-driven approach to coffee buying.
While we don’t roast our own coffee, we're a business that sources coffee with our customers at the forefront so this strategy really resonates with us!
