$Coffee thrives in China\'s western Yunnan, along the border with Myanmar, at elevations ranging from 900-1750 masl. The main sub-regions for coffee growing are Pu’er, Baoshan, Dehong, and Menglian. Atlas first visited China in 2014, and since then, we’ve been back numerous times to visit farms, participate in conferences and educational programs, and establish relationships with growers and exporters.⁠ ⁠ We’re thrilled to welcome the arrival of our second harvest of microlots from our friends at @yunnancoffeetraders. Although most of the microlots were presold to roasters, we have one lot of Grade 2 washed Yunnan coffee, Kaku Lot 2, remaining. With a depth of sweetness with notes of chocolate, maple, caramel, pear, and spice, with mild acidity and a medium body, this coffee makes a lovely featured Single Origin or will pair well with others for a unique blend.⁠ ⁠ Explore @yunnancoffeetraders work through the linkin.bio—photo by @yunnancoffeetraders.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #atlas_coffee #experienceatlas #begooddogood #atlaslongdistancerelationships #yunnancoffee$
$Marcelline Budza, inspired by her own mother’s resilience, established @rebuild_womens_hope (RWH) in 2013 along the shores of Idjwi, a large remote island in the middle of Lake Kivu in eastern DRC. When asked in an interview last year what she would like roasters to know about RWH, Marcelline answered, \"By buying RWH coffee, roasters are contributing to the fight against inequality and discrimination against women. We offer them a coffee of a good quality that pushes us to weave a strong bond.\"⁠ ⁠ Our third harvest of RWH coffee just landed at TGR, and it is outstanding! Scoring an 87.75 upon arrival, the washed coffee from the Boza Washing Station, pictured here, is juicy, complex, and sweet with a fruity profile of blackberry, lime, apricot, raisin, chocolate, and vanilla with a juicy berry acidity and a medium body.⁠ ⁠ Connect with us to taste RWH\'s coffee for yourself, and read @susandrinkscoffee \'s full interview with Marcelline through our linkin.bio.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #atlas_coffee #experienceatlas #begooddogood #atlaslongdistancerelationships #DRCcoffee #heartofafrica$

$One of our most highly anticipated arrivals of the year, the sweet, spicy characteristics of coffees from the Muungano Cooperative in DRC are always crowd-pleasers. These coffees play beautifully with others, especially in espresso blends, and also shine on their own.⁠ ⁠ Founded in 2009, Muungano coop is comprised of around 4,400 smallholder farmers, nearly half of them women. Gender justice is a principal focus of the members, integrating farmers from different ethnic groups into the operation. The word “Muungano” means “Togetherness” in the Swahili language. When we first visited the group, they were milling coffee on equipment from the early twentieth century, yet still managed to produce the best Congo coffee we had ever tasted. In the following years, they installed two new washing stations and a new cupping lab and hired a trained roaster and cupper. The fruits of their hard work are evident in the sweet, bright, and complex coffees they produce every year. This is Atlas\' fourth year bringing Muungano coffees into the US and our second year featuring a natural-processed lot alongside community and women\'s lots.⁠ ⁠ These coffees just landed at the port and should be available to ship from the West Coast and East Coast around the last week of November. Learn more about our other winter coffee recommendations, as always, in the linkin.bio.⁠ ⁠ Photo of Muungano Cooperative members preparing to transport their parchment coffee across Lake Kivu to Goma, where it will be milled.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #atlas_coffee #experienceatlas #begooddogood #atlaslongdistancerelationships #DRCcoffee #cozycoffees$
