Building Trust in Kenyan Coffee—From the Farm Up
At Undugu Farms, coffee is more than a crop — it’s a collaboration. We work directly with farmers to produce fully traceable, single-estate Kenyan coffee, built on fair treatment and long-term relationships. For roasters, that collaboration delivers consistent quality and full visibility from origin to warehouse.
Our commitment to transparency
Farmers are the foundation of Undugu Farms. We focus on long-term, direct relationships that give farmers the stability and support they need to produce their best coffee and plan for the future.
This perspective is grounded in lived experience—one of Undugu’s co-founders is a farmer who sells his coffee through Undugu, helping keep our approach to partnership, pricing, and long-term relationships grounded in real farm realities.
Real-time processing data → Farmers receive practical feedback they can use immediately to improve quality and yields.
Fair, prompt payments → Compensation reflects quality and market realities, allowing farmers to reinvest in their farms with confidence.
By rewarding excellence and prioritizing long-term relationships, we support farmers in building stable livelihoods and sustaining quality over time.
Grounded in Farming
Roasters deserve full traceability and a direct connection to the farms they source from. We support that trust by staying directly involved at every step:
Managing every step, from farm to roaster → Maintaining consistency, accountability, and full traceability.
Curating single-estate lots → Providing farmer-direct, high-quality coffee with distinct character and clear provenance.
Implementing a rigorous, standardized quality grading system → Every lot is evaluated and sorted at the estate level, ensuring clarity and consistency in every bag.
With a fully visible supply chain, roasters can source direct-trade Kenyan coffee with confidence. Trust is built through transparent, dependable systems and direct relationships.
