malawian coffee
In the TTG head office in Leeds we source Fair Trade coffee beans from a not for profit company – Malawian Coffee.
Malawian Coffee
The Malawian Coffee Company is a social enterprise supporting Malawi’s remote coffee growing communities and providing educational opportunities to some of the poorest children in the world. Currently 100% of the profits are given back to good causes in Malawi.
Malawian Coffee work directly with the farmers who grow the coffee and ensure they are paid “more than a fair price” for their produce. With support, the co-operative has been able to reinvest in the coffee production process. In 2018, the investment paid for the installation of a new washing station and a new de-pulping machine.
Malawian Coffee have donated to pay the full school tuition fee for two bright young boys (Yamanya and Laurente) who come from the small farming village of Bwengu, not far from where the coffee is grown. They are proud to be able to support children with potential, giving them the opportunity to go to better schools and get into further or vocational education. They are also committed to supporting a Malawian run community organisation called Saved By the Ball (SBB). SBB strives to provide educational and public health advice through engaging children and young people in tennis.
Based out of Mzuzu Youth Association headquarters the work they do to develop sport, inform and teach about public health and support vulnerable children is inspirational.

Coffee Beans
Our single origin geisha coffee beans are grown in perfect conditions 1300m up on Livingstonia Plateau, in Rumphi district, overlooking beautiful Lake Malawi. The geisha trees themselves were imported from Ethiopia in the 1930’s and with our help it has been possible to export this wonderful coffee outside Africa and share it with the rest of the world for the first time. The coffee is handpicked and is processed using the ‘washed process’.
Malawi Coffee Roots
Wani and Paul are childhood friends and founded the company through their joint love of Malawi. Wani was born in Northern Malawi, spending his early years growing up in the same region as where the coffee is grown. Malawi is very close to his heart. He is passionate about promoting the country’s excellent produce, the potential of its people and hopes to reframe the outside world's perceptions of Malawi.
For Paul, Malawi had always intrigued him, and it was during his first visit he fell in love with the country. He became hooked by Malawi’s vibrancy, the stunning landscape and the warmth of the people. Since that visit, Paul has been a champion of Malawi and is equally passionate about increasing people’s knowledge and understanding of this wonderful country.
