An East African dedicated
sourcing partner
Our Company
As a relationship-driven East African coffee company, our mission is to bridge the gap between roasters and coffee producers.
We form partnerships solely with those who echo our deep-rooted values of sustainability for farmers, their families, the community, and the environment. And of course, we’re dedicated to delivering nothing short of exceptional coffee.

Our team
James Wilkinson
Sourcing & Sales
Previously, James worked at a washing station in the Rwenzori Mountains. The passion and potential he saw in the producers was what led him to forming Omwani.
Dale Goulding
Strategy
Dale is Omwani's man behind the scenes, responsible for setting targets and managing projects like our offer list hosting system.
David Burton
Head of Coffee
Dave works closely with all of the producers we source from, and has a head full of ideas about how the industry can better support coffee producers.
LC Davison
Marketing Coordinator
LC is a jack of all trades, managing marketing, events, and the collection of producer information and media.
Alex Green
QC & Operations
Type, pre-shipment, and landed; every sample we receive must go through Alex for approval. At least, that's when he's not handling customer releases.
Supporting the communities we work with
At Omwani we know that you can't take something without giving back. That's why we're always looking for ways we can help support our processing partners outside of buying their coffee.
We approach them openly, and let them decide what would help their community most, and then we find a way to get it done.

Our Values
Transparency
We pride ourselves on transparent trade: everything we share we do so openly and honestly, and we look for similar values in our partners.
Fairness
We want to ensure equality and integrity across the entirety of the supply chain we work in. Putting consideration into every action we take, and learning from our mistakes.
Quality
We only source the highest quality coffee possible. We measure quality on taste, profile, economic impact and the story of the origin.
Honesty
When we say something, it needs to be the truth: no smoke and mirrors or corporate half-truths, and when something isn't clear, we explain it.
