Tanzanian Gombe Reserve

Our Tanzanian Gombe Reserve coffee is the first to receive Jane Goodall’s “Good for All” seal, signifying that it promotes better pay for farmers as well as a commitment to protect the environment and the planet’s wildlife.

Grown near the boundaries of Tanzania’s Gombe National Park, one sip and you’ll be transported to where the wild things are. Gombe is a dynamic cup, with violet-hued, jungle-bloom aromas and bold, tropical fruit flavors — mango, banana, and pineapple — and a finish that rivals the spirit and intensity of a young wine.  The spring-like temperatures and predictable rainfall of Tanzania’s greater Gombe region provide ideal habitat for both chimpanzees and world-class coffee. Its lush mix of grassland, open woodland, and deep green forests is one of the few places on earth where coffee farmers and chimpanzees live side-by-side.

Because it thrives under the shade of a forest canopy, this extraordinary coffee grows in harmony with chimps in one of their last, remaining habitats. It provides farmers an incentive to preserve the forest, a chance at economic stability, and a uniquely memorable taste profile.
