Kingha Estate – Nordic Approach – Keen Coffee

Collaboration

As a specialty coffee roastery we love the idea that everybody in the process gets what they deserve. Our trader, Nordic Approach, does their best to ensure equality, especially onwards the hardworking farmers of the Kingha estate, located in the Kinungo region. Managed by Canadian-born school teacher, Kingsley Griffin. Who was taking a walk around nature when he had a vision, ‘it’s time to change my life and work together with these farmers to create an outstanding local product’.

Kingsley works closely together with the local smallholders to ensure outstanding quality much better than an average Ugandan coffee. That’s why Nordic Approach pre-contracts him to sell all their coffee to them. So the farmers have a ensured income, and they can work hard on maximum quality. Not only are farms important to him, he also provides electricity from a water powered solution for local schools/ churches. Praise you Kingsley.

For the third year in a row, this coffee is just perfectly balanced, with the right amount of funk, fruity, reminding us a little of stewing pears.
