From Uganda to Atlanta, Georgia

Kawa Java 2009

Kawa Java has unparalleled body, is positioned as a premium single varietal, organically shade- grown and adheres to a Fair Trade product. Europe and China have been the major market for quality Ugandan coffee. Germany is a strong buyer of Arabica beans. There are an estimated 500,000 farmers in Uganda. Most of them work on family farms and maintain the organic cultivating practices of their ancestors. Kawa Java believes in the social responsibility to see that these farming families and their communities receive fair compensation for their labor and skills. This provides an incentive to continue their organic practices. Purchase Kawa Java and know that you are supporting Nanziri's efforts towards improving the quality life of a Ugandan farmer and his or her family.
