Kenyan Coffee Beans
Kenyan Coffee has arrived!
Grown by a handful of smallholder farmers on the slopes of Mt. Elgon—an extinct volcano spread across the border of Uganda and Kenya—this coffee boasts cupping flavors of sweet, savory, and citric. Hints of cocoa and grapefruit flavors delight the palate with every sip.
Kenyan coffees, for a lot of roasters, are showcase coffees—those that stand out above all others for brash acidity, ripe fruit, and rich sugars. We can all remember that first experience with a Kenyan coffee, and how it floored us with gripping acid.
Through your purchase of this coffee, you are supporting smallholder, local farmers and their families in Kenya.
Even more, a portion of the proceeds from these beans benefits disadvantaged women in Africa through Rafiki’s Widows Program.

Grown by Lake Victoria in Tanzania comes Rafiki Foundation’s newest product: Coffee!
This coffee is from the Tarime district in Northern Tanzania. Grown amongst the shade of the banana trees near Lake Victoria, these are fully washed, 100% Arabica beans, and are an AB grade. Once the beans arrive in the United States, they are carefully roasted in small batches to ensure maximum quality. The cupping notes in this roast boasts a balanced sweet and savory with tart acidity and a heavy mouthfeel; lots of sugary flavors with chocolate, cane sugar, raisin and lime flavors. Each 12 ounce bag of whole coffee beans come to you straight from the Rafiki Foundation, and a portion of the proceeds from this product benefits disadvantaged women in Africa through Rafiki’s Widows Program. By purchasing a bag of this coffee you get to help widows in Africa, support local farmers in Tanzania, and get delightful cups of coffee for yourself to sip. What could be better?
Where is Tarime? Tarime is in the northern part of Tanzania, between the Serengeti and Lake Victoria. This remote area of the country is relatively self-governed by the local social groups and tribes, and most of the farmholders own between 2–8 hectares (about 5-20 acres) of land, growing coffee on about a quarter of their property. They also grow other cash crops as well as subsistence crops.
