1 East Africa is known for its rich coffee-growing regions, particularly Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tanzania. We establish partnerships with local farmers and cooperatives to ensure a steady supply of high-quality Arabica and Robusta beans.

2 Our procurement team focuses on sustainable and ethical sourcing, ensuring that farmers receive fair trade prices while maintaining the quality of the beans.

2. Processing and Quality Control

1 Once sourced, the coffee beans go through various stages of processing, including washing, drying, and milling. We either handle this ourselves or partner with local processors in Uganda or other East African regions.

2 Quality control is crucial, so our team implement strict procedures to assess the beans for defects, taste, and overall quality. We use cupping (tasting) and grading techniques to ensure only the finest beans are exported.

3. Packaging and Branding

1 After processing, the beans are packaged in durable, airtight bags, ensuring they maintain freshness throughout the journey. Packaging is tailored to market demands, with options for both wholesale and retail.
