Our project coffee for the future of Tanzanian specialty coffee.

On the slopes of Mount Meru, Africa's fifth-highest mountain in north-western Tanzania, our selected coffee cherries grow on volcanic soil. The Nombeko cooperative is an association of 85 independent smallholder farmers who work closely together to ensure the outstanding quality of our specialty coffee. The cooperative was founded about 15 years ago by our friend Gabriel L. Mafie and his brother Ombeni L. Mafie and allows the individual farmers to share common infrastructure. We source the excellent coffee beans from them through direct trade – all from a single source, fully transparent!

In addition, we are currently working with individual farmers of the Nombeko cooperative to set up a training plantation for organic farming. Our conversations during recent visits showed that there is above all a lack of young, motivated farmers. Together with the farmers, we have made it our goal to tackle this challenge as a new project.
