Africaoua \Af.Ri.Ka.Wa\ company information, Employees & Contact Information

Welcome to Africaoua, where passion, resilience, and the pursuit of the perfect cup of African caoua (African coffee) define our journey. Our story begins in the highlands of Kayanza, Burundi. Picture this: crisp air, fertile soil and altitudes reaching the heavens. Here, amidst rolling green hills teeming with the finest caoua micro-terroirs in the world, a group of passionate makers—no imitators here, just zealous enthusiasts, deliberately attentive and engaged—gather over traditional banana beer, or "urwagwa," swapping tales and savoring grilled corn. Everyone is captivated by Venansi, a venerable elder of the community, who shares anecdotes from his childhood and the arrival of caoua in the northern hills. Venansi's words resonate, echoing the struggles faced by caoua farmers and their families across generations, from historical exploitation to modern challenges. Despite adversities, their resilience shines, inspiring positive transformation. It was exactly at this moment that we set out our vision to celebrate and elevate the rich caoua culture—Connect, enable and both ends win together. Thus, Africaoua was established in 2016—a testament to Venansi's wisdom soaring from Kayanzan hills and our fiery determination to revolutionize the African caoua industry, one cup at a time! What sets Africaoua apart? —In essence, our commitment to simplicity and authenticity. We are an African caoua merchant—we select and deliver the highest quality, ethically sourced caoua beans from Africa's finest micro-terroirs. We aim to build meaningful relationships with growers, their families, and communities, understanding their needs and fostering a sustainable future. Together, we craft an African caoua -Africaoua- experience that embodies tradition, excellence, and empowerment—a journey infused with love, adventure, and the undeniable spirit of an African mood. At Africaoua, we're on a mission to share the perfect cup of Africaoua with the world.
