APK ESTATE
Nestled on the fertile slopes of the Kilimanjaro lies APK Estate: a coffee plantation where Colombian expertise meets the rich African soil. African Plantations Kilimanjaro (APK) is part of the family-owned Oro Molido, which has been producing coffee in Colombia for three generations. Since 2010, they have brought their knowledge and craftsmanship to Tanzania, cultivating premium Arabica coffee in a way that is unique to the region: with a focus on people, the environment, and quality.
Thanks to its high-altitude location, mineral-rich volcanic soil, and stable, sunny climate near the equator, the coffee plant thrives exceptionally well here. Meltwater from Kilimanjaro nourishes the plantations through a smart irrigation system, and all energy on the farm comes from the sun—a sustainable solution in a region with limited access to electricity.
What truly makes this coffee special are the people behind it. Every coffee bean is hand-planted, picked, and processed by local workers who operate with care and dedication. APK believes that the quality of specialty coffee starts with its people, and therefore invests heavily in their well-being. By fostering local leadership and collaborating with cooperatives, not only does the coffee flourish, but the community does too. Their foundation supports schools and healthcare in the region—38 schools have received maize, and medical check-ups are more accessible than ever.
DRINKING COFFEE TOGETHER = ENSURING A FULL STOMACH
When you choose our Tanzania Kilimanjaro coffee, you support more than just great coffee. For every kilogram sold, we donate €0.50 to APK’s maize project. This ensures that children at 38 primary schools in the region receive a nutritious meal every day.
For many parents—many of whom work on the coffee plantations—this is a key motivation to send their children to school. A full stomach means better concentration, better opportunities, and a healthier future. Your cup of coffee contributes to more than just flavor: it provides children with the fuel to learn and grow.
