We first connected with Keremba last year through some trusted coffee friends. Having lived in Melbourne years ago, he was fully indoctrinated into the world of specialty coffee. He’s since taken that passion back home to Tanzania, where he now produces outstanding lots through his company, Communal Shamba, and supports a network of farmers with a clear path to market. This release comes from the Mbozi district in the Songwe region, a community that’s just formed its own AMCOS (Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society) after previously relying on another to sell their coffee. With Keremba’s guidance, they’ve stepped into independence. Wherever he goes, quality follows. It’s a bold move, stepping out on your own, especially in a system that doesn’t always reward small producers for taking risks. But with Communal Shamba behind them, they’re backing themselves. And honestly? We like those odds. The partnership runs deep. Communal Shamba supplies the community with costly inputs before harvest to help lift both yields and quality. The coffee is fully washed at a shared Central Pulping Unit (CPU), improving consistency and processing standards across the board. Once dried, the parchment returns to Communal Shamba for milling and meticulous hand sorting to produce export-grade lots. To many, this newly formed AMCOS might still be a foundling — young, untested, just beginning its journey. But the creed is strong with this one. Shared values, mutual trust, and an unwavering commitment to quality form the backbone of this partnership. We’re proud to introduce you to Communal Shamba and the Mandomashe AMCOS community — and we hope, like us, you’ll be supporting them for many seasons to come.

This is the way.
