A REVOLUTION IN EVERY BEAN
A COFFEE WITH ORIGIN.

Bakonzo Drums begins high in the Ruwenzori Mountains of Uganda, in the heart of an exceptional coffee region.

Here The coffee is grown by the Bukonzo Coffee Farmers,
whose knowledge, work and connection to the land form the origin of this story.

But for SAVALION the story does not end with the harvest.

We want more value to be created where the coffee is grows.

That's why the coffee is not simply taken out of Africa as a raw product after the harvest.

It goes on to Kenya, where it is roasted and refined, branded and packaged for SAVALION.

This is how a raw material becomes a finished product - in Africa.

CULTIVATION IN UGANDA 

Our coffee is produced at extreme altitudes over 2000m on the untouched, mist-shrouded slopes of the Ruwenzori Mountains (the legendary Mountains of the moon) picked by hand. Cultivated by the indigenous Bakonzo people, these fine Arabica beans are 100% certified organic. Cultivation takes place under shady treetops to protect the local biodiversity.   

SAVALION COFFEE's branding is created with the expertise, creativity and know-how of outstanding women in Kenya.
SAVALION's brand identity and visual design are created together with a collective of visionary and creative women in Kenya. With their expertise and perspective, they help shape our brand and help tell a new story about African coffee from Africa and with an African perspective.

Roasted & packed in KENYA - East Africa.

Instead of sending the raw material away cheaply, this 1,500 kg is produced in state-of-the-art production facilities in East Africa masterfully roasted and packaged. By bottling on site, up to 300% more economic added value remains directly in the region of origin.

NOT ONLY GROWN IN AFRICA. MADE IN AFRICA.

Traditionally, coffee leaves Africa as a raw material.

The coffee grows there. Further processing and a large part of the value creation often take place elsewhere.

SAVALION would like to change this path.

BAKONZO DRUMS.           DARK ROAST ESPRESSO 

For the first SAVALION launch, we chose a coffee that has character.

Named after the powerful, complex polyrhythms of the traditional Bakonzo Engoma (drums), this espresso unfolds a perfectly  coordinated, rhythmic composition on the palate.

The beans come from the Ruwenzori Mountains of Uganda and are roasted and refined in Kenya into a strong, balanced and low-acid dark roast espresso.

An espresso full of character that does not hide its origins, but makes them visible makes.
