About Us
Our Story
Pure Africa Coffee was born from a simple idea: to connect East Africa’s finest coffee-growing regions with the roasters and importers who value real quality and real traceability. From Ethiopia’s legendary highlands to Kenya’s celebrated peaks and Burundi’s emerging washing stations, coffee here isn’t just a crop — it’s a craft passed down through generations of farmers and cooperatives.
Why Pure Africa Coffee
Choosing Pure Africa Coffee means direct access to origin, without the layers that usually stand between a farm and a roaster’s cup. We operate on two continents — with Pure Africa Coffee LLC based in Delaware, USA, and Pure Africa Coffee (Pty) Ltd based in Cape Town, South Africa — giving us a direct line from East African washing stations straight into the U.S. market, with green coffee held and ready to ship from our warehouse partner in Charleston, SC.
Our Values
- Purity – Single-origin, traceable coffee that stays true to its region, its processing method, and its story.
- Direct Relationships – We work directly with growers, cooperatives, and washing stations across East Africa, not through layers of intermediaries.
- Transparency – From the washing station to your cup, every lot comes with its origin, altitude, process, and cupping score.
What We Do
We source green coffee from East Africa’s most respected growing regions — Ethiopia’s Yirgacheffe, Sidama, Guji, and Limu; Kenya’s AA and AB grades; and Burundi’s fully washed and honey-processed micro-lots. Each origin brings its own character, from Ethiopia’s floral, tea-like brightness to Kenya’s bold acidity and Burundi’s emerging washed profiles.
By building direct relationships with producers and cooperatives, we go beyond trading coffee — we build long-term partnerships that reward consistency and quality on both sides of the supply chain.
