Every cup of Afro Coffee whispers tales of Africa´s idyllic gardens, where coffee cherries have time to develop lively aromas in the shade of a canopy of leaves. We owe the quality of our wonderful coffee to the remarkable expertise of farmers and their detailed selection process on family-run small farms, where each bean is carefully harvested by hand.
