This coffee is a single-origin offering from the Kisunga washing station in the Nord-Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Grown near Virunga National Park at high altitude in fertile volcanic soil, this Red Bourbon variety is processed using a washed method. The cherries are handpicked, fermented for 18 to 24 hours, and dried on raised African beds for 12 to 18 days. The flavor profile features notes of orange, chocolate, biscuit, and prune, offering a balanced cup suitable for filter, espresso, and moka pot brewing.
Atmans Coffee was founded in Barcelona in 2016 by Miguel Lamora, a two time Spanish Latte Art Champion and third place finisher at the 2013 World Latte Art Championship. Miguel started his coffee career in 2004 and is considered one of the pioneers of Spain's specialty coffee scene, having served as SCA National Coordinator for Spain from 2016 to 2019. The name comes from the Sanskrit word for soul or essence, and the roastery's philosophy centres on revealing each coffee's unique character. Atmans curates its selection based on a framework of Process, Origin, and Variety, offering a wide and rotating range of specialty coffees from their base in the Les Corts neighbourhood.
