Coffee beans from Congo usually have a sweet taste with heavy and full body. Since the beans are grown at high altitudes, they are high grown and dense meaning they can stand high temperatures when roasting and thus suitable for light continental roasts. The flavor profile is similar to Burundi and Rwandan coffee beans and shares the same conditions for growth.

Blending tip: when deciding on a mixed roast blend it usually works better to have more of the milder roast, less of the stronger.
Blending tip: even the strongest roast can be mixed with a normal tasting blend - so long as you use very little. Start by trying one part in four.
