Is Kahawa coffee organic?
All Kahawa 1893 Whole Bean Coffee Blends are crafted from 100% organically grown Arabica beans that are carefully cultivated, ethically and sustainably sourced. Despite containing less caffeine than Robusta, Arabica beans are often considered superior in taste. Arabica tends to have a smoother, sweeter taste, with flavour notes of chocolate and sugar. They often also have hints of fruits or berries.The four main coffee types are Arabica, Robusta, Excelsa, and Liberica and all four of them have radically different taste profiles.
What is the difference between coffee and kahawa?
Kahawa” means “coffee” in Swahili — our language — and 1893 is when our story begins. While coffee’s origins can be traced back to ancient forests in Ethiopia, coffee had to travel around the world before it made its way back to Africa in the late 1800s. The history of coffee spans many centuries, while wild coffee plants originated in Ethiopia, the beverage itself first developed in Yemen, where Sufi Muslims in the 15th century used it to aid concentration during night prayers.
