Coffee Bio
For nearly two decades, Nicki Emopa and his family have sourced coffee directly from local farming groups in Gimi, Okapa District. Over rough roads and challenging terrain, he has stayed committed, travelling long distances with cash in hand to make sure farmers are paid promptly and fairly.
The coffee grows in a high-altitude, steep mountainous region where cool nights and slow cherry maturation enhance acidity, layered complexity and exceptional clarity in the cup. Almost every household tends a small coffee garden: this is truly community-grown coffee, cultivated by families whose livelihoods and future are rooted in the land.
In recent years our partnership has strengthened this supply chain further, with training in deforestation-risk awareness, pest management and good farming practices.
From these rugged highlands comes a coffee shaped by dedication, integrity and the spirit of its people.
