Africa is widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee. The origins of coffee date back to the 9th century, where, according to legend, a young herder named Kaldi discovered the stimulating effects of coffee after observing his goats becoming energetic after eating the red cherries from a particular tree. This discovery led to the cultivation and trade of coffee across the region, transforming Africa into one of the world’s largest coffee producers.

Over time, coffee spread to neighbouring countries like Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda, where it remains a symbol of identity and community. Today, Africa is home to some of the world’s most prized coffee beans, with its rich history influencing the production of some of the most flavourful coffee in the world.

A Coffee Tour in Africa offers a multi-sensory experience that goes beyond tasting. Here's what you can expect:

• Farm Visits: Walk through coffee farms where you’ll see the entire process—from planting and harvesting to drying and sorting.
• Roasting and Brewing: Watch the coffee beans being roasted and take part in brewing demonstrations. Some tours even allow you to roast your own beans.
• Tasting Sessions: Experience coffee tasting, or "cupping," where you’ll sample a variety of beans from different regions, comparing flavors and aromas.
