Guinea

Guinea is your go-to origin for fine single-origin Robusta on Algrano. Produced without fertilisers and pesticides by smallholder farming families, this coffee comes from wild plantations where farmers plant more trees every year.

If there's one person who can change the world, it's Mamy Dioubaté. With extensive coffee experience, Mamy founded Macenta Beans in the heart of the UNESCO-protected rainforest region of Macenta, Guinea, West Africa. He aims to change the narrative around Robusta and improve the local market. While investing in reforestation and community projects, Macenta also pays farmers 30% above the local price. This boosts their income, pushes intermediaries to pay more, and renews the younger generation's interest in coffee.
