About Kofi Origin

A rare origin, exported with intent.

Kofi Origin is a Nigerian export house built for the specialty market. We work directly with smallholder farmers across Nigeria's highlands — growers whose Arabica has, for decades, quietly disappeared into anonymous commodity channels.

Our work is to keep those lots intact: identified by farm, processed with care, and graded to specialty standard. The result is a coffee that few roasters outside Nigeria have ever cupped, and a supply chain buyers can stand behind publicly.

We ship modest volumes with high consistency, and we would rather refuse a lot than dilute one.

The Cup

Washed. Floral. Unmistakably clean.

Cupped and calibrated against SCA protocol before every export approval.

01

Delicate Floral Aroma

Jasmine and orange blossom lift from the cup before the first sip — the signature of our highland lots.

02

Bright Citrus Acidity

A structured, juicy acidity reminiscent of mandarin and bergamot, balanced rather than sharp.

03

Natural Sweetness

Slow maturation at altitude develops a rounded sweetness of raw honey and ripe stone fruit.

04

Clean, Smooth Finish

A long, transparent finish with no muddiness — engineered for filter and single-origin espresso.

Why Kofi Origin

Three reasons buyers move their programme to Nigeria.

A New African Origin

Distinct from Ethiopia and Kenya. Nigerian highland Arabica offers your menu a genuinely rare origin story that competitors cannot source.

Farm-to-Export Traceability

Every lot is documented from the smallholder plot through processing, grading and container loading. Full documentation supplied with each shipment.

Direct-From-Source Pricing

We export directly, with no intermediary layers. Roasters receive specialty-grade quality at competitive, transparent landed cost.

How We Work

Three steps from highland plot to your roastery.

01

Sourced From Highland Farms

We partner directly with smallholder growers cultivating Arabica between 1,200 and 1,600 metres across Nigeria's Mambilla and Obudu highlands.

02

Processed and Quality Controlled

Selective hand-picking, controlled fermentation and raised-bed drying, followed by density sorting and cupping to specialty grade.

03

Exported Directly to Roasters

Grainpro-lined bags, documented lots and coordinated logistics from Lagos to your warehouse, with sample approval before every shipment.

Roaster Feedback

Verified buyers
The Mambilla washed lot gave our filter menu something genuinely new. Clean, floral, and consistent across two containers.
Lena Brückner · Head of Coffee, Nordkap Rösterei · Hamburg, Germany
Documentation was the deciding factor. Lot codes, cupping sheets and moisture data arrived before we even asked.
Marcus Hale · Green Buyer, Fifth Street Coffee · Melbourne, Australia
A rare origin that holds up on the table. Our customers ask about Nigeria now — that never used to happen.
