The sweet aroma of marzipan fills the air, and is soon joined by gorgeous notes of dried dates and dark chocolate…
Flying high over the extraordinary vistas of the mighty Mount Nyiragongo, as well as the gorgeous Lake Kivu flowing beside it, one can observe something that makes the view even more beautiful: it’s the luscious coffee plantations, and the local farmers working hard to keep them at their best. This wasn’t always so: only a few decades ago, these lands were ravaged by volcanic eruptions and devastating civil wars. The people of Congo are now starting to smile again though: what gives them joy is cultivating unique coffees that numerous connoisseurs all over the world love and appreciate.

What is “Parallel Specialty”?
“Parallel Specialty” is a deeper exploration of the Coffee Belt—the equatorial region where the world’s finest coffees grow. While the original Parallel line celebrated regional diversity through curated blends dedicated to different continents, the “Specialty” edition zooms in on single-origin coffees that capture the essence of one place, one terroir, one moment in time.
Each coffee is a reflection of its native habitat—be it the misty highlands of Ethiopia, sunlit valleys of Colombia, or remote farms in Sumatra. Selected for exceptional quality and unique flavour, these coffees offer an unparalleled taste experience.
The name “Parallel” still speaks of geography, but now also stands for precision, traceability, and purity. Let “Parallel Specialty” take you on a journey—one cup, one story, one unforgettable taste at a time.
Most specialty coffees boast a pleasant hint of acidity, but what makes this variety special is how low on acidity it is: instead, it's marked by rich, sweet notes of marzipan, dried dates, and dark chocolate.
