Coffee Rooted in Kasaale, Mountain Elgon

DISCOVER WHAT WE DO
THE ORIGIN OF EXCEPTIONAL FLAVOUR
From the coffee farms of Kasaale, located at elevations between 1,400 and 2,500 metres above sea level in the rich volcanic soils of Mount Elgon, to our processing and warehousing facilities, every stage of the journey is carefully managed to preserve quality and prepare our coffee for local and international markets.
Every bean and every hive represents an opportunity to empower women, protect the environment, and build thriving communities.
