Wakuli. Impacting the world with exciting coffee.

While consumers are paying too much for low-quality coffee, farmers are earning below what they need to sustain their livelihoods.

That's why we are all about selling the best coffee – not just in taste, but also in fair pay for the farmers we work with. Our beans are traceable to the farm and poured by us in your cup or freshly delivered at home through your mailbox. We are a no-nonsense, ambitious start-up with a profound mission: impacting the world with exciting coffee.

We are building the new coffee brand of the 21st century with a team of like-minded innovators and investors from all over the world.

At Wakuli we are impact accelerators. This is the foundation of our working culture.

We are guided by three main principles and six core values that define how we work together:

1. We make each other better - we strive for constant progress & are guided by trust,
2. We sharpen our focus - our work is defined with clarity & determination,
3. We keep pace as one team - with responsibility & ambition we work together to grow Wakuli's impact.
