How We Buy Coffee
At KAFA we're all about chasing the perfect cup of coffee. But what does "perfect" really mean? For us, it's not just about finding a rare and exceptional coffee; it's also about discovering a versatile coffee that can play many different roles. We're always searching for new ways to improve quality, find interesting varieties, and use meticulous farming and processing techniques that will result in a truly amazing coffee experience.

Origins
Coffee is more than just a crop. It's a reflection of the land it grows in, the people who cultivate it, and the history and tradition alive.
Our compass isn't set to chase every origin, or simply mark destinations on a map. Instead, it is guided by a moral compass. One that points toward meaningful partnerships, sustainable progress, and an unwavering commitment to quality. We choose to work where we can make a real impact. Where trust is built over time, and where coffee isn't just a transaction, but a collaboration. Some relationships span decades, while others are just beginning. But all are built on the same foundation : respect for the work, curiosity for the craft, and the pursuit of something exceptional.
From the highlands of Ethiopia to the volcanic soils of Latin America, from pioneering new processing methods to reviving forgotten varieties, we are constantly learning, adapting, and refining our understanding of coffee. This journey without final destination. Only endless opportunities to discover, collaborate, and improve.
