Coffee is native to East Africa’s Uganda. In the 1800s, before coffee was known as a beverage, Ugandans would chew sundried coffee beans for caffeine stimulation. While coffee has certainly become a commercial crop, it still has ceremonial significance among the many tribes of Uganda. Ugandan Coffee is extraordinarily tasty with hints of nuts, chocolate and a host of other natural flavors that will entertain the most discriminating palette.

Both coffee lovers and Ugandan coffee farmers have strongly encouraged Kawa Java to import Ugandan Arabica berries. Company founder, Annette Nanziri, received overwhelming requests to bring coffee back to the United States whenever she travels to her native Uganda. Kawa Java is born out of a spirit of bringing the best in organic sustainable coffee to local roasters and retailers here in North America.
