OUR STORY 

Kanfuela Kaffé, founded in 2022, honors its Congolese roots by roasting organic specialty coffee sourced ethically from the Democratic Republic of Congo. With "Kanfuela," meaning "coffee" in the Congo's Tshiluba language, our founder's journey is woven into every roast & every sip. From Congolese roots to your cup, creating an authentic coffee experience and brining that home is at the core of our mission--whatever home means to you.☕️

HISTORY

OUR founder's grandparents once owned a coffee farm along the Lubilanji River (now known as Sankuru River) in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She comes from generations of coffee drinkers, farmers, and visionaries. 

FROM DEBORAH:

“I grew up watching my dad drinking coffee religiously every single morning, and even going as far as getting it shipped from France because he “didn’t like the taste of American coffee.”

As a creative and former educator, who also grew up in France, I became obsessed with the coffee culture and finding truly incredible coffee that not only taste amazing, but that could also fuel my focus and boost my productivity. A life-changing trip to D.R. Congo in 2021 cemented my mission, and that's how KANFUELA KAFFÉ was born.”
