GENERATIONS OF COFFEE
FAMILY LINEAGE
FAMILY LINEAGE
My great-grandfather farmed coffee in Coorg (Karnataka, India) in
the late 1800's.
His son, John, then carried on the family tradition, planting the first coffee trees in the northern region of Tanzania in the early 1920's.
A century later, our family is still farming this land. It has been a long love affair with coffee.
THE FARM
FAMILY LINEAGE
It was such a blessing to grow up on the family farm in Tanzania.
Like the coffee trees, my roots go deep into these rich, volcanic soils. From an early age, my sisters and I were out in the fields, along side the women
picking coffee.
Fond memories of dust and song and the sweet smell of coffee cherries.
FULL CIRCLE
FULL CIRCLE
In 2007, I gave up Primary School teaching to assist with the family operation.
Their great vision was to complete the full coffee cycle - taking the bean from the field to the cup.
Over the next decade, we set up and ran a successful roastery and café, inspiring many folk on our farm tours.
We're taking a short break
After a very busy summer, we are taking a couple of weeks holiday to recharge our batteries.
The Roastery is closed until Fri 30th October.
Please note that no orders will be processed until then.
Thank you for your understanding!
