In 2017 while in Uganda helping build concrete water tanks, I tacked on a trip to the Rwenzori mountain range to visit my friend Gerald Mbabazi who has set up a coffee processing company. The following is the condensed version of one of the greatest stories that I have heard: Around 40 years ago, 10 year old Hamlet Mbabazi was kicked out of school because his parents couldn’t afford the fees for his tuition. He began the week long walk back from Mbarara to his family home in Kanungu. This started him on a journey to lift his district up out of poverty. Kanungu is a remote district in West Uganda.

Brand new design for our 1kg coffee bags drops today. A fully bespoke, New Zealand made bag constructed of high barrier compostable materials.

Also features the ability to distinguish between blends. Make sure you check what blend you are getting as we stock the Huia blend, Piha blend and the soon to drop, Muriwai Blend. Each have distinct flavour profiles designed to cater for a range of taste desires. Partnered...
