Gorilla Highlands Coffee
Premium Coffee, Profound Impact
Gorilla Highlands Coffee represents the perfect blend of exceptional quality and conservation excellence. Every cup supports the protection of critically endangered mountain gorillas while empowering local communities and funding vital education initiatives.
Our Story
Nestled in the mist-shrouded mountains where Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo meet, Gorilla Highlands Coffee grows in one of the world's most biodiverse regions—the natural habitat of mountain gorillas. Our coffee isn't just premium quality; it's a direct connection between conscious consumers and conservation action.
The Coffee
Exceptional Quality
Grown at high altitude in rich volcanic soil, our Arabica beans develop complex flavor profiles with notes of chocolate, berries, and citrus. Each batch is carefully harvested, processed, and roasted to preserve the unique characteristics that make Gorilla Highlands Coffee extraordinary.
Sustainable Cultivation
Our farming practices prioritize environmental stewardship. Through shade-grown cultivation, organic methods, and water conservation, we protect the ecosystem while producing exceptional coffee. Our farmers are trained in sustainable agriculture techniques that preserve soil health and biodiversity.

Meet the Farmers
Our coffee is grown by smallholder farmers whose families have lived in these mountains for generations. Through fair pricing, training programs, and direct support, we're helping these communities thrive while becoming the front line of conservation.
Many of our farmers are former poachers who now earn sustainable livelihoods through coffee cultivation and eco-tourism, demonstrating that conservation and community prosperity go hand in hand.
The Crisis
With fewer than 1,100 mountain gorillas remaining in the wild, every action matters. Habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict threaten these magnificent creatures. But there's hope: when communities benefit economically from conservation, they become its greatest champions.

- Protecting critically endangered mountain gorillas
