Tired of getting the same coffee order every day? You probably need to try out some new releases *and* we’ve got something that we also can’t wait to try out. Nespresso UAE is bringing a one-of-a-kind organic coffee blend KAHAWA ya CONGO coffee, as part of its Reviving Origins initiative. Kahawa Ya Congo offers a smooth organic coffee with a mild fruity note, toasted cereal, and nutty aromas that you just won’t be able to let go of.

The program aims to nurture and protect one of the world’s most vulnerable farming sites, namely the Lake Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) as well as support farming communities from conflict, political instability, economic hardship, and environmental disasters. Hailing from the region, the 100% arabica coffee acts as a strong sense of hope for the community to better overcome the harsh conditions and make a living.

The long-term Reviving Origins program earlier launched in 2019 and has since revived coffee farming in seven countries and supported around 8,000 farmers, with DRC being added to the list.

Turanyi Kabasura, a Kivu coffee farmer, shared how the Nespresso program would help him and his family run the business, “I see my remaining days being better than those in the past, because I am going to work, assured of receiving regular pay and a bonus each time after the coffee sale. In my whole life, no one has ever given me such a bonus. I can use that to develop other strategies, such as raising small livestock, or my wife can run a small business. I am starting to see the results of my work.”

To spread the message of hope and bring Congo’s homegrown coffee to the Middle East, Nespresso collaborated with the Dubai-based creative director and humanitarian worker Jennifer Kolomoni, “With the Reviving Origins program, it is my hope that Nespresso’s efforts to revive coffee production in DR Congo bring both stability to the farmers and their families while doing so in a sustainable, equitable, and ethical manner.”
