Connect with coffee farmers

East Africa's smallholder cooperatives are producing some of the world's most remarkable coffees. Grown at high elevation on volcanic soils, traceable to the farmer, and in many cases certified Fairtrade, Organic, Rainforest Alliance and Café Practices, these are coffees with extraordinary stories behind them.

From the long-overlooked eastern highlands of DR Congo to the diverse growing regions of Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Ethiopia, they are socially and environmentally transformative: investing in agroforestry, climate resilience and quality processing. They are some of the best kept secrets of African coffee.

Why African Coffee Connect?

We are bridge builders, not middlemen. With forty years at the leading edge of the international coffee markets and over fifteen years working closely alongside Eastern Congo's cooperatives, our knowledge of these regions, these producers and this market runs deep.

We put you in direct contact with cooperative managers, building relationships tailored to the capabilities of each producer and the needs of each buyer. All negotiations and contracting happen directly between cooperatives and buyers; we make sure the information flows, the relationships hold, and the partnerships work well for everyone across the value chain.
