Makelele is a distinguished coffee farm dedicated to cultivating and exporting premium quality green coffee beans globally.
Nestled in the picturesque South Kivu region of Democratic
Republic Congo. Since 1945 our farm has been commitment to sustainable and organic farming practices.
With a focus on single-origin beans, our coffee is a testament to the rich flavors and unique climate and soil of our region.
Our coffee beans are grown on the same property, a 1700-hectare family-owned farm, one of the largest in the Kivu Region.
Situated in the South Kivu region, our single-origin coffee originates from this expansive plot, where the unique terroir—defined by the region 39 soil composition, elevation, and climate—imbues each coffee bean with unparalleled character and flavor.
We are committed to organic farming, ensuring that our coffee beans are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers.
In-house washing station, a cornerstone of our commitment to producing exceptional
coffee. Nestled within our expansive property, this meticulously designed facility is dedicated to enhancing the quality and purity of our green coffee beans.
Our washing station is equipped and staffed by skilled local staff who oversee every stage of the coffee processing journey. From the moment the freshly harvested cherries
arrive at the station, our team ensures precision and attention to detail in every step.

Central to our commitment to excellence is the use of pure spring water sourced from
the pristine natural springs surrounding our farm. This water, untouched by
contaminants, plays a crucial role in enhancing the intrinsic flavors of our coffee.
The unique mineral composition of our spring water contributes to the distinctive profile of Makelele coffee.
This method not only contributes to the unique taste of our coffee but also reflects our
commitment to natural and eco-friendly processing.
The sun-drying process is a crucial element in our production chain. The beans are
carefully laid out to dry naturally under the sun, allowing for optimal flavor development.
This traditional method enhances the quality of our coffee beans and contributes to the
overall character of our product.
