WHAT WE DO

Mission

At Safari Pride Coffee, our mission is to share the exquisite flavors of African coffees with the world and foster meaningful connections between the hands that cultivate the coffee and the communities that enjoy it. Our journey takes us across the continent of Africa, where we collaborate with trusted partners to ethically source single-origin coffees of exceptional quality cultivated using sustainable farming practices.

Quality Coffee

We offer coffees of unparalleled quality cultivated in nutrient-rich volcanic regions at high elevations, preserving each location's unique terroir. Our beans undergo meticulous handpicking, processing, and grading, with only the finest selected for roasting. Each batch is validated through rigorous cupping assessments, ensuring exceptional taste and consistency.

Sustainability

We partner with esteemed cooperatives to source our coffees. These cooperatives play a crucial role as most coffee cultivation in Africa is managed by small-scale farmers who need more resources to attract exporters and roasters. Consequently, they often sell their specialty-grade coffees at low prices. By sourcing from reputable cooperatives, we ensure that farmers receive fair compensation for their hard work, enabling them to thrive and focus on sustainable cultivation practices without additional income sources. This fosters confidence, security, and growth within our farming communities, leading to consistent and sustainable quality improvement. Our farmers are also able to confidently provide for their families, affording them with the same types of opportunities that were accorded to Samuel's family. Our cooperatives prioritize sustainable farming practices such as minimal use of herbicides and pesticides, shade-grown coffee to enhance flavor complexity, renewable energy utilization, and pollution-free machinery, among others.

Connection

We don't just see coffee as a beverage; we view it as a way of life, a journey of shared experiences. Our goal is to connect the coffee-growing regions of Africa with global consumers, allowing you to embark on a virtual journey to the very countries and regions where your cup of coffee originated. With each sip, you're transported to the heart of the producing community. Additionally, we believe in giving back, which is why we reinvest a percentage of every sale into the communities where our coffees are grown and enjoyed, supporting various causes and initiatives.

We are excited to support our local Minneapolis based community and the various communities we interact with in the bean belt of Africa. Learn more about our current partners below and please also join our efforts in helping the respective communities we support.
