Let’s Cup: Kenya!

On Tuesday 19 July 2019 we are holding a Let’s Cup event in Melbourne. These events are designed for our roasting community to share different interpretations of coffees from the same origin in a friendly and open environment.

A new space for the women of Dukunde Kawa Cooperative

During our recent trip to Rwanda, we were delighted to visit the Dukunde Kawa Cooperative and officially open their recently constructed community building. It was an incredible moment, and one that we’re excited to share with our many friends and customers who generously contributed to this project.

There are more questions that need to be asked, and complexities to be considered also.

The Chain of Custody in Kenya
