Our coffee comes specifically from growers of the Rumako and Manyovu cooperatives, part of a much larger umbrella association called Kanyovu.

We worked directly with co-op’s cuppers in Kigoma to select the beans for this ‘super-lot’ which expresses in its cup quality all the hard work of the growers through means of bean selection, processing and drying. Our lot was the first that the co-op exported independently, which allowed the members to garner more of the profits and began the move towards self-sufficiency down the road. 

Allegro Coffee Company will donate $10,000 to support a reforestation project around the Gombe area of Tanzania.

The Jane Goodall Institute is working to protect the region surrounding Gombe National Park, where deforestation has threatened chimpanzee habitat and a sustainable future for human communities. By partnering with coffee growing communities on reforestation, we can support local economies, increase shade diversity and rebuild chimpanzee habitat.
