The Village

his Congolese coffee comes to us from a community group of women coffee growers in South Kivu, Congo. Since incorporating gender equity into our green sourcing work, we have been openly communicating that value with importers. We have been grateful to work with Mighty Peace Coffee, an importing company that has gender equity woven into its DNA. They’re a company led by 2 women on different continents — their founder and CEO, Liza Pitsirilos, is based here in the United States, and their Chief Quality Officer and Agronomy Engineer, Linda Mugaruka, is based in the DRC.
