Democratic Republic of the Congo
The DRC, native homeland of our Co-Founder and Chairman Dikembe Mutombo, grows delicious Arabica coffee beans.

By area, it is the largest country in sub-Saharan Africa. It’s the second-largest in all of Africa (after Algeria) and the 11th largest in the world.

The Congo Forests
The DRC experiences high precipitation because it has the highest frequency of thunderstorms in the world. These storms sustain the Congo Rainforest, the second-largest rain forest in the world after the Amazon. The DRC rainforests contain great biodiversity, such as the common chimpanzee and the bonobo, the African forest elephant, the mountain gorilla, the okapi and the white rhino.
