Our Coffee
Our operations team is based in the heart of beautiful East Africa because we believe the only way to truly understand East African coffee is to live it — to know its people, its produce, and its potential.
In our own Ugandan plantations, we have perfected cultivation techniques over many years, focusing on genetics, good agricultural practices, sustainability, and the wellbeing of our workforce. Beyond Uganda, the region’s diverse terrain, climate, and coffee varieties inspire us to seek out exceptional beans from trusted plantations in neighbouring countries — each reflecting our values and commitment to quality.
Our dedicated “coffee detectives” work tirelessly to source the best possible coffees for our clients. This allows us to offer seven distinct and exceptional coffees, each tailored to meet the wants, needs, and budgets of discerning buyers.
