Surrounded by gorillas, bonobos, forest elephants, and other witnesses to ancient rainforests, wild Coffea Canephora grows here – the ancestral form of the Brazilian Conilon line, which is the second most important Canephora line worldwide today, alongside Robusta. Around 130 years ago, in the midst of the Congo atrocities, Belgian botanists laid the second most important foundation for today's Canephora industry here. All Brazilian Conilones can be traced back to plants that were domesticated in Luki from wild material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Conilon made a career in Brazil, Luki sank into oblivion. After the end of the formal colonial era in the 1960s, the Congo Wars and the Angolan War brought coffee-related work to a standstill and left the region in fear and insecurity. Only since the 2000s, and more recently with the resurgence of Canephora, has the potential of the Luki lines been recognized again. Infrastructure for industrial processing must be almost entirely rebuilt while the population suffers from malnutrition and a lack of basic services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery form of industry must be rethought here. At the same time, coffee research is pioneering, especially in the collaboration between Congolese and Belgian partners. A startup emerged from one of these partnerships: Congolese field botanist Justin Asimonyo and Belgian agronomist Broeckhoven believe in the potential of Luki specialty coffee. In a global context, this production is of immense significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs great as the vision is, the challenge is equally great. Each step entails pioneering costs – from the purchase of cherries to fermentation, depulping, and drying, through to hulling, selection, packaging, and export logistics. There is no proven recipe for any of these processes. We are delighted to be part of this inspiring journey and to walk this new path together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA coffee full of courage – ready to redefine the role of Congolese coffee in the world while consciously confronting its own history.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Canephora: Petit Kwilu","offers":[{"title":"300g","offer_id":57425898733894,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1825\/6277\/files\/luki-lukumu_716489.jpg?v=1790164967","url":"https:\/\/roestlabor.coffee\/en\/products\/dr-congo-lukula-luki-mvuka","provider":"Röstlabor GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
