DR Congo — Tumaini Coffee Co-Op The cherries are naturally processed and dried on raised beds at Tumaini’s collection centres, where access to running water can be limited. Assembly helped fund several of these drying beds during our first year working with the cooperative, allowing producers to dry their lots locally. Drying the cherries whole helps retain their natural sweetness, resulting in a rich, rounded cup with a smooth finish.
